In Los Angeles, the Miami Dolphins defeated the Rams on Monday Night Football, ending their three-game losing streak with a final score of 23-15. This game was marked by a total of nine field goal attempts and four turnovers, making touchdowns hard to come by for both teams. Miami’s offense managed to find the end zone twice, while their defense successfully kept the Rams out of scoring territory.
The scoring for Miami began with Malik Washington rushing for a touchdown on the first drive of the game. Later, in the third quarter, Tyreek Hill caught a one-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. While Miami improved to a record of 3-6, the Rams fell below .500, dropping to 4-5.
Calais Campbell had a standout performance for the Dolphins, recording three tackles, one sack, and two pass deflections. He described his team as “a hungry team,” suggesting this win could be the start of something bigger. He emphasized, “To start a wildfire, all it takes is one spark.”
Looking ahead, Miami has a favorable schedule, facing the Las Vegas Raiders at home next Sunday, followed by a matchup against the New England Patriots on November 24. Winning these games could see the Dolphins reenter the AFC wild card race.
On the other side, the Rams face a tough challenge ahead as they travel to meet the Patriots next Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Tonight’s loss further narrows their playoff chances, dropping their odds by 10 points to 29%. Injuries have played a significant part in their disappointing season so far.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford struggled during the game, failing to throw a touchdown pass for the fourth time this season. The Rams are now 1-4 when Stafford does not connect for a touchdown. Meanwhile, Tua Tagovailoa completed 20 of 28 passes for 207 yards, contributing to the Dolphins’ victory.
As the season progresses, both teams will look to make a mark, with Miami hoping this win sparks a comeback and the Rams needing to regroup quickly to salvage their season.
