AI Recap
AI RECAPThe Miami Dolphins opened the 2026 season with a statement, rolling into Allegiant Stadium and handling the Las Vegas Raiders 38-10 in Week 1. From the opening series, Miami dictated tempo and never let the hosts settle in. The Raiders, hoping to set an early tone at home, instead spent the afternoon chasing a game that got away from them in a hurry.
Malik Willis was the engine, throwing for 250 yards and a pair of touchdowns while showing poise in and out of the pocket. His favorite target was Malik Washington, who piled up 122 receiving yards and consistently found space against a Las Vegas secondary that had no answers. De'Von Achane complemented the passing game with 91 yards on the ground, keeping the Raiders honest and letting Miami control the clock. It was the kind of balanced afternoon that turns a road opener into a laugher.
Defensively, Miami's biggest swing came from Chris Johnson, whose interception snuffed out a Las Vegas possession and handed the offense another short field. Quay Walker led all defenders with eight tackles for the Raiders, and Maxx Crosby recorded the game's lone sack, but the individual efforts were never enough to slow Miami's rhythm. Once the Dolphins stacked scores and forced Las Vegas into obvious passing situations, the outcome was decided. The final margin of 28 points reflected a game that tilted early and stayed that way.
