Dolphins End Losing Streak Despite Mistakes

The Miami Dolphins narrowly defeated the New England Patriots 15-10, ending a three-game losing streak despite numerous mistakes, including two missed field goals and a blocked punt. Alec Ingold scored the decisive touchdown with just over four minutes remaining, capitalizing on a strong running game that amassed 193 yards. Quarterback Tyler Huntley, filling in for the injured Tua Tagovailoa, managed 194 passing yards and an interception, while the Dolphins defense held firm against a late Patriots surge. The Patriots' potential game-winning touchdown was nullified due to Ja'Lynn Polk's heel landing out of bounds, highlighting the ongoing debate over NFL catch rules. Both teams struggled with penalties, missed opportunities, and clock management, underlining their current statuses as two of the NFL's weaker teams. Despite the victory, the Dolphins still face challenges in quarterback depth, as their decision to not maintain a reliable backup for Tagovailoa has left the team vulnerable.
