Keep swimming, keep swimming…
We’ve seen the Dolphins crumble at the first sign of adversity before, but there’s something different about this team. Down 14-0 on Sunday, Miami’s offense fought back and scored 35 unanswered points against the Panthers, with running back Raheem Mostert (115 yards, 3 total touchdowns) and receiver wide receiver Tyreek Hill (six catches, 163 yards, one touchdown). most yards when committing crimes.
This team could have come back, blamed the loss on injuries and fatigue, and moved on to next week. But it won’t work for head coach Mike McDaniel, and it won’t work for this team. As a group, the mentality is much stronger than last year and their resilience is to be commended. There are no giveaways in the NFL and in Week 6, the Dolphins fought hard to come from behind and beat the Panthers.
Reason 2:
Bag on the beach
Honestly, Carolina’s offense is…meh.
However, Miami’s defense was spectacular on Sunday, holding rookie quarterback Bryce Young to just 217 passing yards and one touchdown. As a team, the Dolphins have amassed a team-high four sacks in a single game this season. And yes, this was against the 0-5 Panthers (now 0-6). I get it. But holding an NFL team to just 14 offensive points is no easy feat, and Vic Fangio’s unit deserves a flower for its performance on Sunday.
