Tua Tagovailoa completed 17 of 19 pass attempts under 10 yards in leading the Dolphins to victory. And no one on the defense could keep up with Raheem Mostert, who finished with 121 yards on just 18 carries and sealed the win with a 43-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. Tagovailoa was 17 of 19 on throws under 10 yards, giving his receivers a ton of room to run - 141 of Tagovailoa’s 249 passing yards came after the catch. The Patriots did a nice job on Tyreek Hill, limiting him to 5 catches on 9 targets for 40 yards and a short touchdown.īut the Patriots had no answer for the Dolphins’ speed and quick passing game, badly missing speedy cornerback Jonathan Jones. Tua Tagovailoa was just 4 of 10 on throws over 10 yards past the line of scrimmage, for 87 yards and an interception on an underthrown ball. ⋅ The defense played off-coverage all night with three deep safeties, and they successfully took away the Dolphins’ downfield passing game. They better get left tackle Trent Brown back next week, and they better shore up their offensive line before facing the Jets’ ferocious pass rush next Sunday. Anderson also didn’t identify his block and let Javon Holland race free into the backfield for a tackle for loss on third-and-1.Ī week after the Dolphins allowed 233 rushing yards to the Chargers, the Patriots rushed for just 88 on 3.5 yards per carry. And right tackle Calvin Anderson, who also missed most of training camp with an illness, was treated like a turnstile by Dolphins linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel, who beat him for a sack and three QB hits. The Patriots had just 48 yards on 14 rushes to the left side (3.4 average), though they may want to use Strange as a short-yardage running back after his run late in the fourth quarter.īackup left tackle Vederian Lowe, acquired in a trade with the Vikings in late August, was part of that communication mixup with Strange on one sack, and allowed another sack on the final drive. Guards Cole Strange and Mike Onwenu returned to the lineup after missing most of training camp with injuries Strange had a communication error which led to a free sack on Jones, and Onwenu got replaced by Atonio Mafi in the second half. Jones took four sacks and was under duress all night. ⋅ The offensive line played like it started four players who barely practiced together during training camp - which is exactly what it did. DeVante Parker made his Patriots season debut with six catches for 57 yards on Sunday night.
