The Miami Dolphins were unable to secure their ninth victory of the season on Sunday, as they were defeated by the Los Angeles Chargers in a Sunday evening matchup.
Mike McDaniel’s team, after losing to the San Francisco 49ers the week before, put up another tough performance, as the offense couldn’t find any rhythm. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill had two long touchdowns – one was a result of the cornerback losing his footing and the other was an improbable fumble recovery.
