Dave Hyde: What? How? Who was this Dolphins team that dominated Atlanta, 34-10?
"Back from the dead? Sentenced to life this season again? Let's start with something less sweeping than such big themes after the Miami Dolphins' 34-10 win against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Let's just say the following people won't be publicly hung by their thumbs again on the day after: Mike McDaniel, whose capri pants looked a little better Sunday. Tua Tagovailoa, who had an efficient game for the first time this season after the worst of his career. Anthony Weaver, whose defense was the star this game."
"Most points scored this season. Least points given up. Least rushing yards allowed. Most smiles afterward, too. It was just one game. Hey, the New York Jets even won for the first time this season Sunday. But the Dolphins' idea is one game can become two Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens. At the very least they saw what must be done and hasn't been all year."
""We knew coming into the game if we could (not) win or didn't feel good about our line of scrimmage play, we'd be facing the same result," McDaniel said."
The Miami Dolphins defeated the Atlanta Falcons 34-10, producing their best performance of the season on both offense and defense. The defense stopped the run, limiting Atlanta to 31 rushing yards on 15 carries and holding Bijan Robinson to 2.8 yards per carry. The offense established the run and produced efficient quarterback play from Tua Tagovailoa after earlier struggles. Mike McDaniel's approach improved line-of-scrimmage results. Anthony Weaver's defense served as the game standout. The win moved the Dolphins to 2-6 and provided a clear blueprint heading into the next game against the Baltimore Ravens.
