Leading up to the score, Huntley completed 12 of 19 passes for 81 yards. No Miami back had more than 50 rushing yards either.
Even though they only had 169 total yards of offense through three and a half quarters, a comeback wasn’t completely out of the question.
But, after failing to recover the onside kick and then giving up a safety on the next possession, the Dolphins looked doomed to fall to 1-3.

In week five, the Dolphins will travel north to take on the New England Patriots on Sunday, October 6.
