Dolphins 23 vs 15 Rams summary, stats, scores and highlights | NFL Week 10
Tua would find Tyreek Hill who got a late green light to play in this game after missing practice with a wrist injury. Tua ended the day with 207 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT on 20/28 passing while Hill had just 16 yards receiving. It wasn't the most beautiful game to watch, but that might be what the Dolphins team needs. If they show they can win nasty, that passing attack will become even more effective.
The Rams must feel dejected after this loss at home that snaps their three game streak. They looked like they were going to be a contender in the NFC West, but we are going to have to see how they respond from this devastating loss in which they didn't score a single TD.
The Rams ended the half with another field goal to go to break down 10-6, but then Josh Karty missed a 57 yard field goal at the start of the second half. Miami took advantage of the good field position and stretched the lead out after this brilliant run from Jonny Smith who broke a couple tackles and rumbled to the one yard line.
Just a couple plays after the fumble, Tua was stripped by Jared Verse and that would lead to the Rams first score of the game. They couldn't take full advantage of the turnover, settling for a field goal which became a common trend for the Rams. They were 0/3 in the red zone against a Dolphins team that was banged up and is not particularly known for stopping the pass.
On the next play from scrimmage Kyren Williams coughed up the ball as Kendall Fuller made the recovery and gave the Dolphins the ball back just a play after their turnover. Fuller would leave the game and go into concussion protocol and would not return.
Things got a little wonky in the second quarter as Tua Tagovailoa's interception started a flurry of turnovers in a span of a couple minutes. This was the first of three turnovers in the second quarter as we thought the game would break open, but it never did.
The Dolphins defense showed us they were ready to step up for the final half of the season, coming out and holding LA to two three and outs and this interception that was tipped at the line and picked by Anthony Walker. That would lead to a Dolphins field goal as they took an early 10-0 lead.
The Miami Dolphins went into LA knowing that they couldn't lose many more games this year if they are going to have a chance of making the playoffs. They came out like a desperate team with their season on the line and surprisingly it was the Dolphins defense that came through on Monday night.
Miami came out swinging, zipping down the field in five plays as Tua went 4/4 and the rookie Malik Washington finished off the drive with an 18 yard TD sprint. That made us think it was going to be a high scoring, high flying game but that was the farthest thing from what it was from Sofi.

Tonight's odds
Taking a look at the odds for tonight’s game, the Rams are a 2.5 point favorite over the Dolphins tonight and the Over/Under is set at 48.5
I like how the Rams have been playing lately, especially with Puka and Cooper on the field together. I’m not sure if it’s going to be sustainable, because there are a lot of holes on this team, and that’s where I think the Dolphins come in and expose those holes on a must win night from LA. Tua has a big day and the Dolphins survive another week.
Dolphins win 28-21.
NFL standings
Taking a look at the standings in the AFC and the NFC we see these two teams in very different positions. The Rams are hanging tight in the NFC West even though the Cardinals have been one of the surprises of the season and the Niners just now getting back to full strength. They have a chance in the division but can also be eyeing a Wild Card spot in the second half of the season. The Dolphins, however are in a much different position. They need to win basically all of their games to have a shot at a Wild Card, because the Bills don’t look like they are the kind of team that will have a late season collapse to lose their lead in the AFC East.
Star watch: Rams
Who do we pick from Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp? It’s a tough toss up. Both are the top two options for Matthew Stafford and both went down with lengthy injuries early in the season. Since they returned they have scored 28 ppg. Before that they scored 20 points just twice. Puka had 7 catches for 106 yards in his return against the Vikings. Kupp stepped up with 51 yards and 1 TD in that game and then 104 yards on 11 catches last game against the Seahawks. This is a different team with those two lined up out wide and tonight look for them to have a big impact on tonight’s game against the Dolphins.
Star watch: Dolphins
If it wasn’t clear before, it is now. This team runs through Tua Tagovailoa. No one could come in and run the offense even to a tenth of his ability when he was out for those handful of games. We knew he’d be back, but we didn’t know how he would come back. In the two games since his return he has looked like the Tua we are used to seeing. The Dolphins have lost both of those games but it’s hard to blame Tagovailoa for those losses. He went 28/38 for 234 yards and a TD in the game against the Cardinals and last week he was 25/28 for 231 yards and passed for two TDs.
Season recap: Rams
The Rams showed just how good they could be in Week 1 when they took the Detroit Lions to overtime in the first week of the season. That was a promising sign, but Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp going down in back to back weeks and having to miss extended time flattened the Rams. They lost four of their first five, and their only win came against the Niners in a game in which they trailed by double digits in the second half. They beat the Raiders in a slopfest before they got both WRs back for their game against the Vikings on a primetime match up right here from LA. Last week they needed extra minutes to beat the Seahawks, but the Rams have rebounded from a slow, injury filled start and are now in contention in the NFC West.
Hill gets green light
The big question coming into tonight for the Dolphins surrounded their star WR, Tyreek Hill and his injured wrist. After not practicing on Friday or Saturday Hill was listed as a game-time decision, but he was cleared to play just a few minutes ago. That's a huge boost for the Fins who are in a must win situation.
Season recap: Miami
The Dolphins season came be summed up in one play. One fateful play in Miami' first match up with the Buffalo Bills the Dolphins season crashing down before it even started. Tua dove for a first down with the game already out of hand, and suffered yet another concussion which people thought could signal the end of his career. The Dolphins lost six of the next seven including two games in which Tua returned under center. They have been in both games since Tua’s returned but lost a tight one to the Cardinals and a heartbreak to the Bills. They have 6 losses already and can realistically only afford maybe one more to even think about having a shot at the playoffs. Needless to say. This is a must win tonight in LA.
Last game: Rams
The Rams went into to a sliding division rival’s house in Seattle and had to go to overtime just to beat the Seahawks. Puka Nacua got ejected from the game for throwing a punch in the first half and that slowed the Rams offense down for most of the game. It was the defense that came through big last week. Two red zone interceptions kept Seattle off the board, and one got turned into six going the other way. The Seahawks were able to battle back and tied the game up with a late game tying TD pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba which forced the game to overtime. The Rams D came up big again in OT, holding the Seahawks on 4th and 1 and just a couple plays later Stafford hit Demarcus Robinson on a 39 yard bomb to win the game.
Last game: Dolphins
The Dolphins dropped their their game in a row last week in Buffalo after a slow start to the game. Miami led 10-6 at halftime and both teams came out of the break firing on the offensive end. Tua went 25/28 for 231 yards and two TDs, but the Dolphins defense couldn’t get a stop and it came down to who was going to get the ball last. Unfortunately for the Fins, Josh Allen and the Bills got the ball with under 2:00 to go and the MVP candidate put the Bills in FG range. Buffalo closed out the Dolphins with a 61 yard, career long field goal for Tyler Bass.
We are live from LA
Hello everyone and welcome to Los Angeles where the Rams may have turned their season around in the last three weeks but a slow start to the season leaves them no margin for error. Los Angeles are trending in the right direction. After dealing with a handful of injuries early in the season, they are getting healthy when the rest of the league is limping through the middle part of the season. Miami on the other hand is still feeling the effects of Tua’s injury that kept him out for a handful of weeks and now they are staring playoff elimination right in the face. Will the Rams keep winning or will the Dolphins stay alive for another week?
