The Dolphins (4-6) took care of business on a day in which they were expected to take care of business. This doesn't mean the Dolphins are back to their form of 2023 or 2022.
It was the long sustained drives that everyone questioned the Dolphins couldn't pull off that won this one. Then, when you thought Miami needed another long drive, it was the big play with Jonnu Smith wide open deep for a 57-yard touchdown.
This was one of the true mismatches in the Dolphins' favor in the back end of their schedule. Miami was never really threatened.
The Dolphins did what they had to, continually hammering the Raiders underneath and gradually building up their point total until the Las Vegas simply couldn't threaten Miami any longer.
