LAS VEGAS -- For more than three quarters of Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Miami Dolphins offense looked, well, uninspiring.
Turns out, there was a reason behind that.
Making his first start at quarterback in place of Tua Tagovailoa, who is on injured reserve and will miss at least the next two games, Jacoby Brissett struggled for most of the game. Miami entered the fourth quarter with more rushing yards (82) than net passing yards (75) as Brissett attempted just one pass that traveled 20 or more yards downfield, per NFL Next Gen Stats.
