The Miami Dolphins suffered a disappointing 28-27 defeat against the Arizona Cardinals, marking their second consecutive game where they squandered a 10-point lead. This loss drops their home record to 3-5 over the last eight games, raising concerns about their performance.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa struggled with three fumbles, while the run game faltered in crucial moments, despite a decent overall rushing performance. The defense also faced challenges, particularly in the second half against Kyler Murray, who threw for over 300 yards.
Coaching decisions came under scrutiny as the Dolphins failed to adapt to the Cardinals' adjustments, leading to a lackluster offensive strategy. With tough upcoming games against Buffalo and the Los Angeles Rams, the Dolphins need to regroup quickly to avoid further decline.
