"But there was an audible tone of boos after quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's third-quarter interception by safety Benjamin St-Juste. More boos rained down after Tagovailoa's next pass, a first-down overthrow intended for Waddle. Yet more boos rained down on third down after Tagovailoa was sacked by outside linebacker Tuli Tuipulotu, who blew past rookie left gard Jonah Savaiinaea. A "Let's go Dol-phins!!" chant went up in the fourth quarter when the Dolphins, trailing, 26-20 were marching downfield. The crowd was happy when the Dolphins took a 27-26 lead but crushed when the Chargers scored with five seconds left on a 33-yard field goal by kicker Cameron Dicker. Predictably, there were few Chargers fans in the crowd. - Chris Perkins"
"The Dolphins previously badly needed a victory against the New York Jets (they won) and the Carolina Panthers (they lost last week). The future doesn't look bright for the Dolphins (1-5) after Sunday's last-second loss or coach Mike McDaniel, who is now 29-30 (.492), including his 0-2 playoff record, and 29-28 (.509) in the regular season. The Dolphins visit Cleveland next week."
The Miami Dolphins lost to the Los Angeles Chargers, 29-27, after a last-second 33-yard field goal. The loss dropped the Dolphins to 1-5 and increased scrutiny of coach Mike McDaniel, now 29-30 overall, 29-28 in the regular season and 0-2 in the playoffs. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw an interception and endured an overthrow and a sack that drew audible boos from the home crowd. Fan attendance showed noticeable empty patches and mixed reactions, including a late chant when the team briefly led. Dolphins owner Steve Ross walked solemnly off the field after the game. The Dolphins visit Cleveland next week.
