Dolphins 28–6 Loss Spotlighting Sideline Clash

During Miami’s 28–6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, a questionable tripping penalty wiped out a 35–36-yard completion to Jaylen Waddle and sparked a heated sideline confrontation between running backs coach Eric Studesville and rookie Ollie Gordon II. Gordon ripped off his helmet and had to be restrained while replays and commentators suggested he had slipped and been unfairly penalized, prompting social-media backlash that largely faulted Studesville’s reaction. Gordon later suffered an ankle injury, did not return to the game, and teammates and staff intervened to calm the altercation. The episode has been framed as further evidence of a locker-room unraveling amid Miami’s 2–7 start and has increased scrutiny of head coach Mike McDaniel. Observers say the outburst underscores deeper dysfunction and raises fresh questions about accountability and the team’s direction.
