The Miami Dolphins kicked off the 2026 season with a commanding 37-13 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. This Week 1 matchup showcased the Dolphins' offensive firepower and set the tone for a promising campaign ahead. Miami's balanced attack proved too much for the Raiders, who struggled to keep pace. Leading the charge for Miami was quarterback Malik Willis, who threw for 166 yards and a touchdown, effectively managing the game. He was well-supported by running back De'Von Achane, who rushed for 77 yards, consistently moving the chains and keeping the Raiders' defense on its heels. Receiver Caleb Douglas also made his mark, tallying 60 receiving yards to help fuel the Dolphins' offensive success. Defensively, Miami's Chop Robinson made his presence felt with a pivotal sack that disrupted Las Vegas' rhythm. Although the Raiders’ Nakobe Dean recorded seven tackles, it was the Dolphins' ability to stifle the Raiders' offensive plays that ultimately defined the game. The turning point came early in the second half when Miami scored two quick touchdowns, extending their lead to a comfortable margin that the Raiders could not overcome.
