"MIAMI GARDENS - The Miami Dolphins played their most complete game of the season in Sunday's 34-10 victory at Atlanta. The run defense finally lived up to expectations. The offense, playing without tight end Darren Waller (pectoral), put up a season-high in points and was aided by offensive coordinator Frank Smith being on the sideline instead of upstairs in the coaches box. Special teams had two field goals and a punt placed inside the 20-yard line."
"Pass offense: A Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, playing with a left eye that was swollen shut when he woke up Sunday morning, was 20 for 26 for 205 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions and an impressive 138.9 passer rating. The eye ailment, possibly caused by some type of infection, was aided by the medical staff giving Tagovailoa medication. Everything else was done by players doing their jobs, starting with pass protection that only allowed one sack, that coming on the opening possession."
Miami Dolphins beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-10 with balanced, effective team play. Run defense finally met expectations while the offense scored a season-high without tight end Darren Waller (pectoral). Offensive coordinator Frank Smith coached from the sideline and the staff used three running backs, an extra offensive lineman, and twice placed the top four pass rushers on the field. Special teams added two field goals and a punt inside the 20, and kickoff return plans changed after Dee Eskridge's injury. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, with a swollen left eye, went 20-for-26 with four touchdowns and a 138.9 rating. The team rushed for 141 yards, led by De'Von Achane, and used play-action to aid the passing game. Baltimore visits Thursday.
