Miami Dolphins Defeat Washington Commanders 13-6; Tagovailoa Perfect On Only Drive
The Miami Dolphins scored their only touchdown on their game’s opening drive. That touchdown would stand up Saturday night as they defeated the Washington Commanders 13-6 at Hard Rock Stadium.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa started the game and led the team down the field on their first drive for their only touchdown. His perfect 13-yard scoring strike to River Cracraft in the back right corner of the end zone set the tone for the game.
“I wanted to give Tua an opportunity to make a play, and River Cracraft had a great release,” McDaniel said. “He really made a good catch in the end zone.”
Tagovailoa then exited the game and sat back on the bench. He finished his night perfectly by going 5-for-5, passing for 51 yards, and scoring. He then yielded to Skylar Thompson, who had a rough go of it as he was 8-of-15 for 61 yards.
“We executed the way we wanted to and did what we said we were going to do,” Tagovailoa said. “This is the third year that I have been able to compete with River and this is the best training camp he has had. The mental strength that he comes out with every day, I just think that is where his growth has come from.”
Tagovailoa did not have Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle in the huddle, as they did not play. The running backs were Raheem Mostert, De’Von Achane and Chris Brooks.
Mike White came in the second half and did not do much better than Thompson. He was 11-of-20 for 116 yards, but 35 of them came on one pass to Erik Ezukanma. Ezukanma would finish the night with five receptions for 65 yards. He led the team in receiving.
Brooks ran hard until he left the game with an injury in the first half. He had 63 yards on five carries but ripped a long 59-yard run to put Miami in position for the first of two Jason Sanders field goals.
“There was a good amount of injuries on both sides,” McDaniel said. “However, I did not get any updates that you would hate to hear. You just don’t want to see anybody go down.”
Anthony Weaver had the young players he’s been evaluating lead the defense. Cam Smith saw his first preseason action and played well before leaving the game with a lower extremity injury. He finished the game with four tackles, three of which were unassisted.
First-round pick Chop Robinson had a tackle for loss in the first quarter, while fifth-round selection Mo Kamara had a quarterback sack.
Robinson was downright giddy after the game. He got ribbed by Jaelan Phillips for not doing the Chop dance.
“It’s like a dream come true. I was just having fun,” Robinson said. “When I went to the sidelines I told JP I was too excited to celebrate.”
For the second straight game, Channing Tindall had a quarterback sack. He sacked third-team quarterback Tracy McSorley in the game’s closing minutes.
Washington was driving to score the game-tying touchdown and had a third-and-10 at the Dolphins’ 11-yard line. They knocked on the door and got to the 7-yard line, but they got no further. Miami took over on downs.
Miami improved to 2-0 on the preseason, while Washington fell to 0-2. The Dolphins will travel to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers in their final preseason tune-up next Friday night. Kickoff is at 7:30 PM EDT.

Miami woman allegedly lured man to luxury condo via Instagram, then robbed him with 2 accomplices
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A blonde-haired Florida woman was arrested after allegedly messaging a man on social media and inviting him to her Miami apartment, only to rob him blind, police say.
Nicole Cano, 30, faces charges of false imprisonment and strong-arm robbery after allegedly inviting the victim to her luxury Biscayne Bay condo on April 11 around 8 p.m., according to an arrest affidavit cited by Local 10.
Cano allegedly asked the man over on Instagram to “have drinks,” but the meet-up quickly took a turn.

While the victim was on her balcony, two other women emerged from a bedroom and joined Cano in confronting him, police said.

When he tried to leave, a struggle broke out and the women told him he was “going to pay,” authorities said.

During the scuffle, the victim’s gold chain was yanked from his neck. He managed to keep the chain, but a $300 gold cross pendant was taken before he broke free, fled the apartment and screamed for help, the affidavit states.
He later called police.

Cano was arrested and booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
She pleaded not guilty Tuesday and was assigned a public defender, court records show.
In 1987, on the Hawaiian island of Kauaʻi, a naturalist and wildlife photographer named David Boynton captured on tape what many environmentalists feel is among the saddest sounds ever recorded.
It’s believed to be the final mating call of a male Moho braccatus — a small songbird — singing for a female that never replied.
Researchers posit that the last female of the species perished in a hurricane five years earlier. Within a few years of Boynton’s recording, the species was declared extinct.
But the lost songbird returns in Dance NOW! Miami’s new contemporary ballet titled Love-less: Dance of the Last Moho braccatus.
It makes its world premiere this week during the company’s season finale called Love Lost And Found.
The piece was created by DNM’s co-founder and co-Artistic Director Hannah Baumgarten, who says she first learned about the bird during a screening of the Sam Green documentary 32 Sounds at the Perez Art Museum in Miami.
“I heard this haunting call with no reply,” says Baumgarten. “And I was awash with so many feelings about love and loss that I just knew in that moment, I was going to make a ballet about it.”
Baumgarten says she saw parallels between the songbird’s story and how human beings cope with loss and their own mortality.
“”For me, personally, this piece became about the observations I made with my parents as I’m watching them age,” she says.
“And I’m watching my mother grapple with the differences in the speed at which she and my father are aging.”
DNM’s season finale also marks the world premiere of Traces, by the company’s co-founder and co-Artistic Director, Diego Salterini.
“It is the other end of the spectrum,” says Baumgarten. The piece charts the universal search for love, seen through the eyes of one woman.
Dance NOW! Miami’s season finale clocks in at only 80 minutes long (with two short pauses) but covers a lot of ground.
In addition to the two world premieres, DNM will perform Tandy Beal’s Forest Dreams; Deco-de, Salterini’s homage to Art Deco design and architecture; and an excerpt from Blue Pencil, DNM’s commentary on government censorship and repression.

Trust remains a primary barrier to broader crypto adoption, according to representatives from the National Cryptocurrency Association, Circle, U.S. Bank and ChangeNOW at Consensus 2026 in Miami.
Ali Tager of the National Cryptocurrency Association said research shows “the number one barrier to non-crypto holders is they just do not get it,” citing complexity, jargon and misinformation as persistent challenges.
Panelists from Circle, U.S. Bank and ChangeNOW said trust is built gradually through user experience rather than technical claims. Britt Cambas of Circle said “you are not going to get technical trust in 30 seconds,” emphasizing clarity and reducing complexity as prerequisites for adoption.
Rachel Castro of U.S. Bank said trust is central to financial services and “very easily broken,” adding that rebuilding it takes significantly longer once lost.
Speakers highlighted customer support and human interaction as critical differentiators in crypto platforms. Pauline Shangett of ChangeNOW said “the primary factor of trust for me when it comes to a web3 project is a feeling that you are working with real people,” pointing to gaps in user support across the industry.
Cambas said reducing ambiguity in products and partnerships is key, noting that simplifying complex systems can drive adoption more effectively than new features.
Panelists also pointed to education as a necessary step for onboarding new users. Tager said the industry must “make it super simple, make it accessible, make it trustworthy” to reach mainstream audiences.
The discussion, moderated by Ashley Wright, focused on designing systems that prioritize transparency, usability and communication, with speakers agreeing that trust must be embedded across product design, customer engagement and regulatory frameworks rather than treated as a standalone feature.
