The Miami Dolphins defense is getting better by the week. They only had two sacks but were in Jared Goff’s face all day long. They forced 2 Goff fumbles, and added 2 first half interceptions. Byron Jones continued to show his dominance in locking down receivers. Despite a terrible time-of-possession difference (36:29 to 23:81) they never buckled in the Miami heat.
Speaking of heat, do not underestimate the advantage it brings. At one point there was a 60-degree difference between Miami’s and the Ram’s sideline. Miami strategically designed for their own sideline to be in constant shade, while the opposition sits in the sun.
