The Miami Dolphins downed the New England Patriots for the second time this season, as they earned a 31-17 victory over Bill Belichick’s team on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium.
Despite all of the injuries, Miami was able to move the ball down the field, with Tua Tagovailoa throwing for three touchdowns and spreading the ball around well.
The defense stepped up, holding New England’s offense to just three scoring drives, as Jalen Ramsey recorded an interception in his debut, and Christian Wilkins, Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb got sacks on Mac Jones.
Throughout the contest, fans rode the rollercoaster of emotion. Here’s what they had to say:
They tried Kohou 😭

Yeah I'm thinking Waddle blocking Peppers ain't gone work

Great effort by Cowboy Collar Baker on 3rd down. Well-timed blitz forces the quick throw, then he rallies to the ball and helps get the stop short of the sticks

If DeVante Parker is beating Eli Apple, I wouldn't look Jalen Ramsey's way either https://t.co/kAMyiX3CSQ

Omg. Jalen Ramsey INT in his first game back.

Best WR in football is actually Jaylen Waddle against the Patriots with under two minutes left in the first half

So the Dolphins O-line right now is Kion Smith, Lester Cotton, Liam Eichenberg, Robert Jones and Austin Jackson. pic.twitter.com/W1ykojeUng

Mostert is one of the most frustrating players on n this league. The guy is a fumble waiting to happen…

Christian Wilkins has tied his career high in sacks for a season with 4.5 and we’re a few days away from Halloween.
Sorry to scare the bean counters

Mostert TD as usual

Deshon Elliott just CRUSHED DeVante Parker.

I know he’s a back up for a reason, but Robert Jones has been BAD today

Bradley Chubb is what we traded for
— Chris Pettit (@ChrisPettit289) October 29, 2023
*whispers* Jaylen Waddle drops are becoming worrisome.
(You were right, @BigOShow)

If Vic Fangio can't stop Mac Jones and a bunch of practice squad receivers from driving down the field on his defense, literally who can he stop?

What a catch by Tyreek Hill
This guy is incredible

Tua’s 6 wins against Belichick is the most by any QB in NFL history. That’s insane. #FinsUp
