Dolphins’ best and worst PFF grades from Week 9 vs. Bears

The Miami Dolphins were able to secure their sixth victory of the season on Sunday, as they defeated the Chicago Bears in an afternoon matchup that was one of the most thrilling contests of the weekend.

Mike McDaniel’s team was able to move the ball at will on offense, as Tua Tagovailoa and his pair of dynamic wide receivers were on point for most of the game. Defensively, Miami struggled to contain Justin Fields’ rushing ability, allowing him to set an NFL record for rushing yards in a regular-season game by a quarterback.
