QB Tua just did not play very well. He almost led the Dolphins form down 13 in the 4th but it wasn't enough to overcome prior mistakes. He finished the game 21 of 32 for only 205 yards, a TD and 3 INTs (one was Wadlle's fault) for an awful rating of 54.8. Just a bad game. D
RB Achane was great buthe can not possibly do everything, he ran 16 times for 128 yards (8.0 average) and 2 TDs including a 49 yard TD and he added another 22 yards on 5 catches. A-
WR Waddle had 95 yards on 6 catches but he also gave the ball way in Tua's first INT. The other WRs were not present. Waller caught just 2 balls (1 TD) and a big gain was negated by penalty. The Dolphins don't have WR2 and they rarely throw the ball down the field. C+
OL They were decent at times (Achane's long TD) and sometimes gave Tua ZERO time (Jonah...), costly penalties did not help. C
LB The Chargers 3rd string RB ran wild and they could not get to Herbert even though he was playing without their top THREE tackles. Ouch. If Philips gets Herbert down at the end the Fins probably win. D-
DL The Chargers ran freely and part of it is their fault. At least Grant got his first career solo sack. D-
Secondary The Trader mistake at the end aside they did do OK against a very good QB, Douglas had a nice game. C-
Special teams They missed a FG and ended up losing by 2.... The 40 yard kick return with half a minute was just awful. They had one good play, the first play of the game, other than that not so much. C-
Coaching
The Chargers came all the way from the west coast missing a long list of front line p;ayers. You could not catch them at a better time and they still won. The Dolphins had minus 11 yards in the 3rd quarter. The pass rush, that was supposed to be the strength of the defense is invisible even against a banged up Chargers line. D-
