Miami Dolphins fall to 2-7 after 28-6 loss to Baltimore Ravens

The Miami Dolphins were blown out 28-6 by the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, dropping to 2-7 and extending a season defined by lopsided losses. The defeat was largely self-inflicted — receiver turnovers (Tahj Washington, Malik Washington), a wiped-out long Jaylen Waddle catch, a Larry Borom false start on fourth-and-1 and a missed Riley Patterson field goal erased scoring opportunities. Miami’s defense struggled to contain Lamar Jackson and tight end Mark Andrews, while occasional offensive sparks from Tua Tagovailoa and De’Von Achane were insufficient. The loss ratchets up scrutiny on coach Mike McDaniel’s job status and amplifies trade-deadline chatter, with Jaelan Phillips (a pending free agent) and Bradley Chubb expected to draw interest. General manager Chris Grier and McDaniel are set for high-level discussions about roster decisions before Tuesday’s deadline. Fans showed their frustration at Hard Rock Stadium, with many leaving early or visibly dismayed as penalties and missed chances continued to plague the team.
