"MIAMI GARDENS - The noise only grows louder. The Miami Dolphins' woeful start to the season continued as a late field goal sank them, 29-27, against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium. After coming back from down 13 points to take a brief lead, the Dolphins allowed wide receiver Ladd McConkey to escape for a 42-yard catch and run that set up kicker Cameron Dicker's 33-yard field goal for the win with five seconds remaining."
"Miami (1-5) drops a second game in a row after and, in coach Mike McDaniel's fourth season, is off to its worst start since the franchise's tanking 2019 season, which was also when general manager Chris Grier became the organization's top decision-maker. Boo birds rained down from fans through the early empty offensive drives before the two late touchdowns - and then again as the result went final."
"Herbert, who finished 29 of 38 for 264 yards and two touchdowns, escaped the grasp of Miami outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips to get the ball to McConkey in open space. McConkey, who had seven catches for 100 yards and a touchdown, scampered down the field to set up the field goal Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was 21 of 32 for 205 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions."
The Miami Dolphins lost 29-27 to the Los Angeles Chargers after a final Cameron Dicker 33-yard field goal with five seconds left. Miami rallied from a 13-point deficit to briefly take the lead but surrendered the decisive play when Ladd McConkey broke open on a 42-yard catch-and-run. The Dolphins fell to 1-5, marking their worst start since 2019 under general manager Chris Grier. Miami's run defense continued to struggle, allowing 124 rushing yards to Chargers reserve Kimani Vidal. Tua Tagovailoa completed 21 of 32 for 205 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. A late Derwin James interception ended Miami's final drive.
