The Miami Dolphins again came up way short in a big spot
The Dolphins did not have an emergency third quarterback for a fifth consecutive game.Guess we have to start with the obvious, which is that the Dolphins again failed to step up against quality competition on the road in prime time.
Tua Tagovailoa's final numbers will look a whole better than his performance actually would suggest, though he gets props like the rest of the team for picking up his game in the third quarter. But the first half was rough.The Dolphins got hit by injuries in the secondary, with Kader Kohou and Cam Smith both leaving the game, but it was Walker who the Dolphins really missed in this game.
-- And then there was a reverse inside handoff to De'Von Achane that got blown up by Green Bay penetration and ended with Tua fumbling and getting dropped for a 3-yard loss. -- The drive stalled, though, when the Packers stayed in their lanes on an end-around to De'Von Achane that wound up losing 6 yards.
-- The Dolphins finally found some life offensively with thier patented inside throws and it produced a touchdown drive, followed by a two-point conversion on a nice catch by Jaylen Waddle. -- The Dolphins' comeback hopes ended on that drive, though, and once again it came down to their inablity to get physical near the goal line.
