Dolphins vs Rams highlights: The Miami Dolphins narrowly avoided a tough defeat but swam away from Los Angeles with a much-needed win on “Monday Night Football.” In a scrappy game with both offenses struggling, Miami emerged victorious, beating the Rams 23-15. The Dolphins, now 3-6, have a glimmer of hope as they chase a distant playoff spot, with their path looking a bit brighter after this gritty performance.
Miami’s defense dominated from start to finish, while Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle brought some spark back to the offense. Dolphins fans will be celebrating in South Beach, hoping that an upcoming favorable schedule could inch their team closer to playoff contention.
The Rams, however, are left facing a tougher road. This home loss was a significant setback for Los Angeles, a team trying to stay competitive in a challenging NFC. Sean McVay’s squad struggled all night, hindered by a series of mistakes and an unexpectedly ineffective offensive line. Matthew Stafford’s off night compounded the team’s troubles, keeping them out of the end zone for most of the game.
Dolphins vs Rams: One bright spot for the Rams was rookie kicker Joshua Karty, who was 5-of-6 on field goals, with his only miss coming from a tough 57-yard attempt. Drafted by the Rams in the sixth round as the 209th overall pick, Karty has proven his reliability and strong leg. Despite his contributions, the Rams’ postseason hopes took a hit with this loss, while the Dolphins are looking healthier and could stage their own Hollywood comeback.
Final Score Recap
Dolphins 23, Rams 15 – Miami escapes with a victory and heads home with renewed playoff aspirations. Up next, the Dolphins will face the Raiders in South Beach, while the Rams (now 4-5) head to New England to take on the Patriots in Week 11.
