MIAMI GARDENS — Tua Tagovailoa passed for more than 300 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill, as the Miami Dolphins beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, 20-17, on Sunday.
Jevon Holland forced a key fumble, Jason Sanders kicked the game-winner and defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver pitched a second-half shutout in his Dolphins debut.
The Dolphins overcame a 17-7 deficit that would have been 24-7 if not for Holland’s forced fumble.
“It’s one week, it’s one game, but it’s also something that we talk about as a team, being able to win games like that where everything doesn’t go your way, starting from before the game to the end of it,” Miami coach Mike McDaniel said. “Can there be galvanizers to bring a group together? Can you find moments of momentum to lean on? And can you play off each other making plays?”
Perhaps the Dolphins wouldn’t have won that sloppy game last season.
But a win is a win and stacking them, as they say, is what matters most.
Where do the Miami Dolphins stand in NFL Power Rankings?
Here is Joe Schad’s Top 32 after Week 1 in the NFL
1. Kansas City Chiefs (1-0)
Defending champs outlasted Ravens.
2. Detroit Lions (1-0)
Jared Goff defeats former team, Rams, in OT.
3. San Francisco 49ers (1-0)
AFC has depth. The NFC is so top-heavy with power.
4. Dallas Cowboys (1-0)
One TD pass for $60 million man, Dak, in Browns win.
5. Philadelphia Eagles (1-0)
Saquon Barkley made an instant impact for Philly vs. GB.
6. Houston Texans (1-0)
Joe Mixon adds a nice dimension to the Texans’ offense.
7. Baltimore Ravens (0-1)
The Ravens need Lamar Jackson, who missed a Monday practice, healthy.
8. Buffalo Bills (1-0)
Is Josh Allen’s non-throwing hand OK? Short week and trip to Miami for TNF.
9. Miami Dolphins (1-0)
Dolphins defense pitched second-half shutout vs. Jacksonville.
10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0)
The Bucs could be sneaky good this season.
11. Cincinnati Bengals (0-1)
Joe Burrow always seems to get off to a slow start and did in NE upset.
12. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0)
Steelers should really stick with Justin Fields at QB. Will they?
13. New Orleans Saints (1-0)
Do the Raiders miss Derek Carr? Probably.
14. Minnesota Vikings (1-0)
Sam Darnold is a very, very good NFL backup.
15. Green Bay Packers (0-1)
Jordan Love is the real deal. Let’s hope he heals quickly.
16. Los Angeles Rams (0-1)
Puka Nakua’s knee injury is concerning.
17. Los Angeles Chargers (1-0)
Nobody has it better than… yeah, whatever. 1-0.
18. Cleveland Browns (0-1)
What happened to Deshaun Watson? Seriously. What happened?
19. Chicago Bears (1-0)
Guess Bill Belichick was right. Caleb Williams needs some time to cook.
20. New York Jets (0-1)
Less-than-encouraging season-opener for the Jets, especially their D.
21. Las Vegas Raiders (0-1)
Brock Bowers: 8 targets, 6 catches, 58 yards.
22. Seattle Seahawks (1-0)
Geno Smith doesn’t feel like a long-term answer.
23. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1)
What was Doug Pederson thinking on that fourth down decision?
24. Indianapolis Colts (0-1)
Anthony Richardson is a roller-coaster, huh?
25. Atlanta Falcons (0-1)
Concerning start for Kirk Cousins and Atlanta offense vs. Pittsburgh.
26. Tennessee Titans (0-1)
Not a very interesting team. And bad uniforms.
27. Denver Broncos (0-1)
Bo Nix will look better than he did for most of Sunday. Eventually.
28. New England Patriots (1-0)
Nice start to the Jerod Mayo era, but we still expect struggles.
29. New York Giants (0-1)
My gosh. Daniel Jones over Saquon Barkley. My gosh.
30. Washington Commanders (0-1)
They’re not any good, but Jayden Daniels will be a star.
31. Arizona Cardinals (0-1)
They’re not any good, but Kyler Murray is a star.
32. Carolina Panthers (0-1)
They’re not any good, and Bryce Young may be a bust.

The contact period for 2028 recruits officially opened on June 15th, and Miami has been active on the recruiting trail.
Now more than ever, recruiting players early matters, with several committing before taking their official visits in their senior season.
Miami has been high on 2028 running back Terriel Harmon for a while, and he discussed the Hurricanes with Miami Hurricanes on SI.

The Hurricanes contacted Harmon almost immediately after the contact period opened and got down to business with him.
“The running backs coach (Coach Merritt) hit me up, and we just talked about the leadership I am going to bring to Miami and the environment of Miami,” Harmon said.
Even before the contact period opened up, Harmon already had a sense of what Miami was like.
“They bring the energy,” Harmon continued. “I love the players like Javian Mallory, Malachi Toney, and Mark Fletcher.”
Mallory is an incoming freshman running back at Miami, and he played high school ball at West Boca. Harmon just transferred to the South Florida power. The two of them have a great connection, and Mallory is recruiting Harmon to join him in college.
“He’s been telling me that Miami is the place to be and that it is great,” Harmon said.
Even though it’s still early in his recruitment, the Hurricanes are still in a prime position for the local three-star running back.
“I’m still not sure where I will go to school, but Miami is for sure at the top,” Harmon finished.
More About the 2028 Class
The 2028 class will be crucial for the future of Miami. Arguably, the two best prospects of the past few years, Amir Sears and Bryson Wright, are right in the Hurricanes’ backyard, and the two could change the course of Hurricanes football if they come.
Overall, the 2028 class in Florida might be one of the best in any state ever. There is so much talent throughout the state, and Miami is looking to get a class that rivals this 2027 class, which is the top three in the country per Rivals.
Some other in-state prospects that the Hurricanes are targeting include Gabriel Player (four-star linebacker), Asher Ghioto (four-star defensive lineman), Antonio Thompson Jr. (four-star defensive back), and George Selvie (four-star offensive lineman), amongst a ton of others.
While Harmon is only a three-star now, it would not be surprising if he becomes a four-star by the end of his senior season.
