Dolphins Routed 28-6; Tua, McDaniel Under Fire

The Miami Dolphins were routed 28-6 by the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football, dropping Miami to 2-7 and marking Lamar Jackson's return. The defeat featured costly miscues — notably a Larry Borom false start on fourth-and-1 that led to a missed 35-yard field goal — plus turnovers and defensive breakdowns the Ravens converted. Fans at Hard Rock Stadium booed, many left early, and one was heard on the broadcast shouting a vulgar insult at QB Tua Tagovailoa. Tagovailoa said postgame that visiting Ravens fans' crowd noise had "muffled" his cadence and contributed to the false start, underscoring a growing home-field disadvantage. The rout intensified criticism of Tagovailoa's play and leadership and raised renewed questions about coach Mike McDaniel and the team's direction.
