Dolphins' defense's stellar Week 9 performance wasted on an inept offense
The Miami Dolphins went mano-a-mano with the NFL's best offense and held their ground, but their offense was so bad that it didn't matter.
Miami kept the game close, but that was because their relentless and punishing defense kept the Lions' high-powered offense struggling most of the game. The Lions didn't score a touchdown until late in the 3rd quarter.
When Jahmyr Gibbs took the handoff into the endzone, Dolphins fans knew that despite the score being just 16-6, the game was over. They were right. Miami's offense couldn't generate consistent yards to keep the team in the game.
