Dolphins Defeat Raiders 34-19 in Las Vegas

The Las Vegas Raiders suffered their sixth consecutive loss, falling 34-19 to the Miami Dolphins in a game highlighting their ongoing struggles. Despite interim offensive coordinator Scott Turner making some positive changes, including a standout performance from rookie tight end Brock Bowers, the Raiders failed to convert on critical red-zone opportunities, scoring only one touchdown on three attempts. The Miami offense was nearly flawless, scoring on six of its seven drives and not turning the ball over, while the Raiders' defense struggled to stop the Dolphins, who controlled the game for over 33 minutes. The Raiders' rushing attack continues to be ineffective, with only 60 rushing yards total, raising questions about the future of players like Zamir White. Quarterback Gardner Minshew had a decent outing but threw a costly interception late in the game. With a 2-8 record, the Raiders are effectively out of playoff contention, prompting discussions about potential changes in the offseason.
