"Chris Perkins, Dolphins Columnist The Dolphins took the fourth-quarter lead briefly to cap what would have been an amazing comeback briefly, but then they blew it. That's the way this season has gone. It was a dramatic failure for coach Mike McDaniel and his team. Oh, and let's not forget defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver's defense. This was bad for everyone involved."
"David Furones, Dolphins Writer The noise surrounding coach Mike McDaniel and GM Chris Grier only intensifies with this heartbreaker. Too many empty drives. Run defense allows another backup to run all over them. Miami scored the two touchdowns to come back, but left time on the clock for the winning field goal after an incredible play by Justin Herbert and Ladd McConkey."
"Steve Svekis, Assistant Sports Editor Tua Tagovailoa, like in the 2023 season opener, threw a last-minute touchdown pass to rally for a lead. But, this time, Justin Herbert had a huge answer, and the Dolphins' season, at 1-5, is effectively over as a playoffs exercise. Keven Lerner, Assistant Sports Editor Justin Herbert took a bunch of second-, third- and fourth-stringers and got the win that kept the Chargers' season afloat, and sunk Miami's. Tua had a nice rally, but he also had tthree turnovers."
Miami lost a last-second game to the Chargers at Hard Rock Stadium, dropping to 1-5. The Dolphins briefly took a fourth-quarter lead but surrendered it, continuing a pattern of late collapses. Defensive miscues, poor run defense and multiple turnovers contributed to the loss. Tua Tagovailoa engineered a late touchdown rally but committed turnovers and left time for the winning field goal. Justin Herbert produced the decisive plays, including a connection with Ladd McConkey, and even with backups secured the victory. Coaching and front-office scrutiny intensified as playoff prospects dwindled with the 1-5 start.
