Franchise Hub Beat · 11d ago

In a thrilling Week 4 matchup, the Miami Dolphins topped the Dallas Cowboys with a decisive 45-27 victory. With both teams looking to establish themselves early in the season, the Dolphins showcased their offensive firepower to secure the win.

Baker Mayfield was the standout performer for Miami, throwing for an impressive five touchdowns while also leading the team with 47 rushing yards. His ability to connect with receivers in the end zone set the tone for the game, while T.J. Moore put on a show for Dallas, racking up 127 receiving yards but ultimately coming up short in the scoreboard battle. Sam Darnold also had a strong outing for the Cowboys, tossing for 375 yards, but it wasn’t enough to keep pace with Mayfield's explosive performance.

Defensively, Miami made crucial stops that shifted the momentum in their favor, particularly with David Stone's two sacks and Carlton Davis III's interception. The turning point came late in the second quarter when the Dolphins' defense forced a turnover, allowing Miami to extend their lead just before halftime. With their combination of offensive prowess and timely defensive plays, the Dolphins held off any hopes of a Cowboys comeback, solidifying their place in the early season standings.
