"MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Despite playing Thursday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens from the confines of their home stadium, the Miami Dolphins encountered some difficulties because of the visiting team's fans. Ravens' fans packed Hard Rock Stadium to witness a 28-6 victory over the Dolphins and impacted the game early on. Dolphins right tackle Larry Borom was flagged for a false start on fourth-and-1 on the team's third drive of the game after appearing to react to Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy's pre-snap movement."
"After the game, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said the crowd noise played a role in the early miscue. "With the Ravens fans, it maybe got a little muffled with my cadence and the crowd noise," he said. "We talked about it on the sideline after and got that corrected." Kicker Riley Patterson missed the ensuing 35-yard field goal after the penalty. Broadcast cameras caught an irate Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel's reaction to the flag. After the game, he clarified where his outburst was aimed."
