The Miami Dolphins secured a decisive 31-14 victory over the Denver Broncos in Week 13 of the 2026 season, keeping their playoff hopes alive. With this win, the Dolphins demonstrated their ability to perform under pressure, maintaining their position in the competitive AFC landscape. Offensively, the Dolphins were led by a balanced attack, with significant contributions from both the ground and air game. Miami's quarterback delivered key completions, while the rushing duo consistently found holes in the Broncos' defense. On the other side, Bo Nix showcased his arm strength with 240 passing yards, but it was the dynamic play of Jaylen Waddle, who racked up 129 receiving yards, that kept Denver in the game, albeit without enough support to turn the tide. Defensively, the Dolphins were anchored by JuJu Brents, who recorded a team-high eight tackles, ensuring that Denver struggled to establish any consistent offensive rhythm. The turning point came in the second half when Miami's defense stifled a Broncos drive deep in Dolphins territory, forcing a turnover on downs that shifted momentum firmly in Miami's favor. Zach Allen's 1.5 sacks for Denver showcased their defensive efforts, but ultimately, it was Miami's defensive tenacity that sealed the game.
