"When the Dolphins run: Miami showed its greatest commitment to the run all season in Sunday's 34-10 win at the Atlanta Falcons with 37 rushing attempts, and it produced a season-high 141 rushing yards. All three running backs were incorporated from the start. De'Von Achane rushed for 67 yards on 18 carries. Rookie Ollie Gordon II had 46 yards on 10 attempts and was big in extending drives in short-yardage situations, and Jaylen Wright was sprinkled in before closing out the blowout."
"Center Aaron Brewer and left tackle Patrick Paul were beasts up front, and rookie left guard Jonah Savaiinaea showed some flashes of improvement. The use of Daniel Brunskill as a sixth offensive lineman at tight end unlocked an added level of physicality the Ravens will have to prepare for. The Dolphins are 13th in yards per attempt in the NFL and appear primed to stick to running the football."
