Studs and duds from Dolphins' Week 4 loss to Vikings
The Miami Dolphins fell to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. Here were the positives and negatives from Miami's fourth loss.
The Miami Dolphins faced the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4, resulting in a 15-10 defeat for the Dolphins. This marked one of the toughest losses the team has experienced this season, given the Vikings' poor offensive performance. Miami will now face the Cincinnati Bengals next.
Among the key performers, RB Ollie Gordon II shone with 100 rushing yards and a touchdown on 11.1 yards per attempt, including a 53-yard run. WR Malik Washington also had a strong game, connecting with Gordon five times for 67 yards. LB Jacob Rodriguez had an impressive outing, tallying 18 tackles, which is the most by a rookie in Dolphins history.
On the negative side, the team displayed poor football IQ, with 10 penalties totaling 55 yards. Left tackle Patrick Paul was called for holding three times. RB/KR Jaylen Wright struggled in both the running game and kick returns, as he rushed for just seven yards on five attempts and muffed two kickoffs.
