"But considering style points don't count in the NFL it was no big deal. Still, it's worth noting Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was sacked four times and the offense only scored one touchdown. Beyond that the Dolphins had to make a couple of big plays at the end - intercepting a 2-point conversion attempt and getting a fourth-down stop - to secure the win against one of the worst teams in the league."
"The Hard Rock Stadium crowd was notable because already this season Dolphins fans have flown banners seeking the firing of coach Mike McDaniel and ex-general manager Chris Grier, they've booed the Dolphins, and they've allowed a large number of Baltimore and Buffalo fans to acquire tickets. On Sunday, however, Dolphins fans were fired up about their team, and they were fairly loud."
The Miami Dolphins beat the New Orleans Saints 21-17 at Hard Rock Stadium, moving to 5-7 and extending a three-game winning streak. The offense managed only one touchdown while quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was sacked four times. The team relied on late defensive plays, including an intercepted 2-point conversion attempt and a fourth-down stop, to secure the victory. Attendance was smaller than earlier in the season, but home fans were notably enthusiastic despite earlier protests and banners. The Dolphins are 3-2 in post-bye games under coach Mike McDaniel and 3-0 since several recent roster and staff changes.
