QB Tua was average, he didn't have any great or awful throws finishing 14 of 20 for 171 yards. The Dolphins scored one TD in 4+ quarters, that is not good enough. C-
RB Achane and GOrdon ran well on every play that wasn't 4th and goal. Achane ran 21 for 120 (5.7 average) and Gordon added 9 for 45 and the Dolphins only TD. They played well but the short yardage game really hurt them... B+
WR Waddle was avergae and the rest of the WRs were not at their best. He only caught 3 balls for 52 yards and it was enough to lead the team... C-
OL They did an adequate job protecting Tua and generally plyed well on running situations apart from the short yardage at the goal line. C
LB LB Jordyn Brooks is WOW, he actually finished the game with 20 tackles (one shy of HOFer Zach Thomas franchise record). The Commanders ran well but Brooks is just great, by far Miami's best player in 2025. A-
DL The pass rucs could have been better and Washington ran very well but somehow they only scored 13. So and uneven day. First rounder Grant is playing better. C+
Secondary It was only Mariota playing without their star WR but they plyed well and Jack Jones saved the day for the team with a brilliant play when it mattered the most. A+ for Jones. A-
Special teams The play of regulation was a recovered muff punt at the end of the 4th quarter other than that a quite game. B

What ????? The site was established 26 years ago, that's a lot of games, MsDaniel was only 16. I have never given an F in a win but what was that ???? The situation again 1:15 left in a tied game.Washington has ZERO TO, 3rd and goal on the 1 is no good (you already failed to score on 4th and goal from the 1 in the game). Washington scored 13 points all game. Instead of taking the 3 you go for it ??? and after you fail, they get the ball, pass to their 30 and you begin to take yout TOs presumably thinking your defense will stop them a minute after you did not take the points and let the same defense win. Really ? It was just luck they missed the 56 yarder and then CB Jones (part of the defense...) saved the day with an INT in OT 10 yards from FG range. That's just luck. F
