With both teams vying for supremacy in the AFC East, the Dolphins emerged victorious, signaling their intent to contend for the division title this year.
Dolphins running back De'Von Achane was a standout performer on the ground, racking up 99 rushing yards and playing a crucial role in Miami's offensive strategy.
