Giants vs. Dolphins: Miami Grades, Notes and Quotes

It was a thrilling start for the Miami Dolphins, who for two-and-a-half quarters looked like the better team on the field.

Then Odell Beckham Jr. showed up to put his imprint in the game, while Miami decided to stop running the ball. The result: a 31-24 loss to the New York Giants.

The Dolphins now move to 5-8, while the Giants at 6-7 are in a three-way tie for first in the NFC East. While the Dolphins looked good at times, they managed to play like the Dolphins we've been used to when it mattered the most, thanks to bad offensive line play (despite not allowing a single sack), dumb penalties and tight ends and receivers dropping catchable balls.
