The Los Angeles Chargers entered Sunday night’s contest with the 30th ranked defense in the National Football League. The Dolphins seemed primed to take advantage of an advantageous matchup — but that didn’t come close to happening.
The Dolphins’ offense was outcoached, outplayed and overmatched against a defense many thought they’d be able to defeat to firmly establish themselves as a top threat in the AFC.
With the whole world watching, Miami laid an egg in primetime — a common theme for them for what feels like forever. When the clocks hit zero and the dust settled, Miami fell to Los Angeles by a score of 23-17, but it never really felt that close.
