The Miami Dolphins defeated the Detroit Lions, 31-27, on Sunday afternoon at Ford Field, earning their fifth win under head coach Mike McDaniel.
This Week 8 matchup was a tale of two halves, defensively, as Miami gave up 27 points during the first two quarters before holding the Lions scoreless after the break.
On top of that, the Dolphins were efficient offensively, punting only once all game, and they’re only turnover was a fumble from undrafted rookie Braylon Sanders on his first career reception.
Fans took to social media throughout the game to share their reactions and feel that sense of community.
Elandon Roberts with an idiotic mistake after the first play.

Miami #Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel will not get criticized for going for it on fourth down this week.

Detroit with another easy walk into the end zone. Dolphins defense is putting up basically zero resistance. 14-0 Lions.
Dolphins offense needs to respond here.

You are either coaching it or allowing it to happen. This mess is on the heads of the Dolphins coaching staff.
