In a tightly contested battle, the Miami Dolphins narrowly defeated the Albuquerque Armadillos 24-17 in Week 12 of the 2027 season. The win was crucial for Miami as they look to solidify their playoff positioning, while Albuquerque aimed to bounce back from a tough stretch. On the offensive side, De'Von Achane was the standout for the Dolphins, racking up 97 rushing yards and providing a vital ground game that kept the Armadillos' defense on its heels. Meanwhile, Josh Allen of Albuquerque threw for 153 yards and connected for one touchdown, keeping his team competitive throughout the game. However, the lack of a consistent running game hindered the Armadillos' offensive flow. Defensively, the Dolphins made key plays that shifted the momentum in their favor. Kayvon Thibodeaux recorded a pivotal sack that thwarted a potential scoring drive for Albuquerque, while Lorenzo Styles Jr. sealed the game with an interception late in the fourth quarter. This defensive stand proved to be the turning point, allowing Miami to maintain their slim lead and ultimately secure the victory.
