On Sunday afternoon, the Miami Dolphins secured a narrow victory against the New England Patriots in a game marked by mistakes and penalties. The Dolphins, who had been struggling with three consecutive losses and the absence of their starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, managed to score only one touchdown, which came from Alec Ingold in the fourth quarter. Jason Sanders contributed significantly with three field goals, compensating for earlier missed attempts by the special teams. The match was characterized by sloppy play from both teams, with each side committing numerous penalties and failing to capitalize on scoring opportunities. The Patriots, despite their efforts, could not convert a late-game chance into a winning score after a replay review overturned a touchdown. Their final drive ended in disappointment as time expired without a chance to stop the clock. Injuries also played a role in the game, with Dolphins running back De'Von Achane and safety Jevon Holland leaving the field due to injuries. The Patriots, on the other hand, reported no injuries during the match. This victory improved the Dolphins' record to 2-3, while the Patriots fell to 1-4. The Dolphins will have a week off before facing the Indianapolis Colts, hoping to build on this win and improve their season performance.
