Both teams came into the game hungry for a win, but it was the Dolphins who emerged victorious, showcasing their offensive prowess in a tightly contested matchup.
Leading the charge for Miami was quarterback Malik Willis, who threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns, demonstrating both precision and poise. He connected with wide receiver Caleb Douglas for a standout performance, racking up 116 receiving yards and proving to be a reliable target throughout the game.
