The Miami Dolphins were unable to stop their losing skid, as they were defeated by the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, suffering their fourth loss in a row.
Buy Dolphins TicketsTua Tagovailoa made some impressive throws, including one long touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill. However, he also threw three of his worst interceptions of the season. On top of that, Raheem Mostert also turned the ball over with a fumble, really restricting what they were able to do.
Hill, recorded four receptions for 103 yards in the contest. He also set the team’s single-season record for catches in a season, breaking a mark once set by Jarvis Landry (112).
Jaylen Waddle was probably the most impressive of Miami’s offensive weapons. He brought in five catches for 143 yards and one touchdown, including an 84-yard score that really showcased his speed.
Miami’s defense was put in poor positions over and over, with short fields, but they also got an interception of their own, the first of undrafted rookie cornerback Kader Kohou’s career, and held Aaron Rodgers and company to 26 points despite that.
Kicker Jason Sanders started the game out strong, making his first two attempts but missing his third from 48 yards out. The miss ended a streak of 10 straight, as it appeared that he had corrected his issues earlier in the season.
Mike McDaniel’s offense was still unable to commit to the run despite Mostert and Jeff Wilson averaging 4.82 yards per carry. They also had a number of unforced penalties that should be pinned on the coaching for a lack of preparation.
The loss makes Miami’s road to the postseason much more difficult.
