"Tahj Washington's first NFL catch was unforgettable - even if he wants to forget it. After the Dolphins kicked a field goal on their opening drive and Baltimore went three-and-out on its first drive, Washington took a short pass from Tua for a nice, 11-yard completion to the Dolphins 18-yard line. But Baltimore safety Alohi Gilman strip-tackled him, picked up the ball and returned the fumble 11 yards to the Miami 7. On fourth-and-2, Jackson threw to tight end Mark Andrews for the touchdown and make it 7-3. The tone of the night was set."
"Stat of the night: 235 yards and two field goals. That's was the Dolphins' first half. And they held Baltimore to 109 yards and trailed 14-6 at half. How do you gain that much and have only two field goals? Well ... Besides the fumble, there were three missed opportunities for the Dolphins as they showed how losing teams lose: *Miami drove 57 yards in the first quarter and lined up at the Baltimore 12 to go on fourth-and-1. Tweet. Tackle Larry Borom was penalized for a false start making it fourth-and-6. On came the field-goal unit and Riley Patterson, who had made 11 of 12 field goal attempts, missed a 35-yard attempt. *The Dolphins started at the Baltimore 29-yard line in the second quarter thanks to Malik Washington's 35-yard punt return and a 10-yard Ravens holding penalty. But three straight incompletions meant Patterson came on to kick a 42-yard field goal to make it 14-6. *The Dolphins drove 67 yards late in the second quarter to face third-and-2 at the Baltimore 13. Achane ran up the middle for no gain. On fourth down, Tua and Achane crossed signals and Tua's pass floated into an empty corner of the end zone."
The Miami Dolphins lost 28-6 to the Baltimore Ravens at Hard Rock Stadium and fell to 2-7. Tahj Washington's first NFL catch resulted in a strip-tackle fumble that set up a Ravens touchdown. Miami produced 235 first-half yards but managed only two field goals while trailing 14-6 at halftime despite holding Baltimore to 109 yards. The Dolphins squandered several scoring chances, including a missed 35-yard field goal after a false start, settling for a 42-yard field goal after a punt return, and a failed fourth-down attempt from the Baltimore 13.
