MIMAI GARDENS, Fla. — The Dolphins opened the season and the Mike McDaniel era in rousing fashion with Sunday’s 20-7 victory over AFC East rival New England at Hard Rock Stadium.
The defense led the way early and late, producing three turnovers, and the offense, although not firing on all cylinders, did its job as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa got the ball in the hands of his lightning-fast wide receivers and allowed them to go to work.
McDaniel kept his team focused despite the huge expectations, evidenced by the Dolphins selling out their allotment of season tickets.
