DOLPHINS SQUAD SHOW: Dolphins Blow 13–3 Lead, Lose to NE Patriots 24–19 | Miami Falls to 1–6

The Miami Dolphins had a 13–3 halftime lead, a chance to build on their first win and an opportunity to make a statement against a division rival. Instead, the New England Patriots scored 21 unanswered points, seized control of the second half and held off Miami’s late rally for a 24–19 victory. The Dolphins fall to 1–6—and this one leaves plenty to unpack. Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber, Kyle Crabbs and former Jeff Zgonina break down where the game changed, what Miami did well and why another promising afternoon ended in frustration. Malik Willis helped Miami finish the first half with an 11-play, 70-yard touchdown drive, capped by his connection with Malik Washington. But protection problems, missed opportunities and inconsistent execution disrupted the offense after halftime. We examine Willis’ decisions, Bobby Slowik’s approach, the running game without Kadyn Proctor and the tipped interception that set up another Patriots touchdown.
