On Thursday night, the Miami Dolphins were missing their starting left tackle and their top two centers due to injuries. Additionally, their starting right tackle has been playing so poorly that he was benched in overtime the week before.
“We knew they had a couple of issues with the O-line so as a defensive line we wanted to go out there and expose that,” said defensive end Carlos Dunlap.
Mission accomplished.
In Cincinnati’s 22-7 win, the Bengals’ defensive line dominated, holding Miami to 62 rushing yards and sacking Ryan Tannehill five times.
“Those boys are animals,” said safety George Iloka.
