"The Dolphins scored on their opening three drives to take a 17-0 lead, but mustered just 38 total yards on their ensuring five offensive drives as Carolina finished the game on a 27-7 run. Tagovailoa threw for 256 yards and three touchdowns, completing 27 of 36 passes, but the Dolphins rushed for just 19 yards -- their lowest total since coach Mike McDaniel was hired in 2022."
""It's tough. No one wants to start the season 1-4," Tagovailoa said. "It's not like our team goes out there and we want to give up this or want to not convert our third downs in the second half. There's just so many things that go into it -- and we've got to figure this out. We've got to figure this out now. This feeling sucks. It's not a good feeling.""
The Miami Dolphins dropped to 1-4 after a 27-24 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Miami built a 17-0 lead by scoring on its opening three drives but gained only 38 total yards over the next five offensive possessions as Carolina finished on a 27-7 run. Tua Tagovailoa completed 27 of 36 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns, while the Dolphins rushed for just 19 yards, their lowest since 2022. The loss marked the first time under coach Mike McDaniel that his team lost after leading by at least 17 points and came despite a positive turnover differential. McDaniel cited preparation and execution as reasons, called the result unacceptable, and Tagovailoa said the feeling "sucks" and the team must figure things out immediately.
