Dolphins Lose to the Titans, 31-12

The Miami Dolphins are still the Not Ready For Prime Time Players.

The Dolphins lost their third straight game to the Tennessee Titans 31-12 on Monday Night Football at Hard Rock Stadium.

It was the Dolphins’ second consecutive loss in prime time. Two and a half weeks ago, they lost to the Buffalo Bills before a national audience on Amazon Prime.

It is important to note that during the first four games of the season, Miami has not held a lead at any point. The only time Miami held the lead was on the last play of the game against Jacksonville when they won their only game on a Jason Sanders field goal as time expired.

“I think that there’s a story within the tape, in all the things that we were looking to do,” Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said. “It was not up to my standard at all, its a collective issue for sure. We have to find a way to score points and all those guys have to figure it out.”

Miami’s offense has been inept since scoring one touchdown in the first half of the Buffalo game. Before scoring a touchdown late in the fourth quarter Monday night, the Dolphins had gone 173:03 without scoring a touchdown. They almost went more than 12 quarters without crossing the goal line.

Quarterback Tyler Huntley, who had his first start at quarterback for the Dolphins, had a very pedestrian night. Huntley went 12-of-20 for 81 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. Huntley also ran the ball eight times for 40 yards.

He could barely get on track the entire game. He was out of sync with his receivers. He did not give Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle a chance to make a big play. Huntley clearly showed he had the arm to throw the deep ball but could not connect to two of the fastest receivers in the game.

“We never avoid adverse situations,” McDaniel said. “Tough times bring out the best in people if you have the right people and I believe we do.”

Nick Folk kicked five field goals for Tennessee to defeat Miami single-handedly. It was his fifth career game with at least five field goals.

Tony Pollard had 22 carries for 88 yards and a four-yard touchdown with 30 left to play in the game to lead the Titan’s offense.

The Dolphins knocked out Titans starting quarterback Will Levis in the first half with a shoulder injury. Tennessee’s backup quarterback, Mason Rudolph, came in and dismantled the Dolphin’s defense by merely going 9-of-17 for 85 yards and no touchdowns.

“There will be a list of things that we can tell the coaches and the players. If we don’t do this, things won’t change,” McDaniel said. “It has been too many weeks in a row. You just have to do certain things in order to win. Until we do that, we are going to get the same results.”

Ole Miss S Nick Cull’s targeting call reversed vs Miami in Peach Bowl

Mississippi football’s Nick Cull avoided an ejection during the College Football Playoff Fiesta Bowl semifinal on Thursday, Jan. 8.

As Malachi Toney reeled in a catch from Carson Beck at the Miami 49 in the first quarter, he was hit by Cull in a helmet-to-helmet collision. Right away, the officials flagged Cull for targeting, with both Toney and Cull staying down on the field with an injury.

After officials reviewed the play, the call on the field was overturned, as the officials determined that Cull did not launch and the collision seemed to be incidental. Replay assistant Matt Austin concurred with the call on the field.

The play had a major impact on the game as well. If the call had been upheld, Miami would have had the ball at the Ole Miss 34-yard line with a chance to expand its 3-0 lead. However, a few plays later, the Hurricanes were forced to punt from the 49-yard line.

On the first play of the second quarter, Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacey scored on a 73-yard run to give the Rebels a 7-3 lead.

Because he was not called for targeting, Cull was not ejected from the game, which means Ole Miss will have him for the remainder of the game, if he can clear the concussion protocol. He was in the tent following the play.

Cull has 15 total tackles and three pass deflections this season for the Rebels.

Meanwhile, Toney went to the medical tent briefly for the Hurricanes, but returned to the game.

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on the forced turnovers: “That is and has to be our identity. We have to play with a recklessness and activity level that exceeds our opponent, and thats not to put down our talent level or anything like that, it’s more about we look different when we’re flying around and making plays and making it tough for the opponent.”
