The Miami Dolphins defeated the Las Vegas Raiders by the score of 20-13 on Sunday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium. 

Tua Tagovailoa went 28/39 passing for 325 yards and 2 touchdowns with 1 interception. Raheem Mostert led Miami on the ground with 86 yards on 22 carries.  Tyreek Hill led all Miami pass catchers with 10 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown. 

Here's what I liked and what I didn't: 

What I liked: 

– The defense looked like it had forced a scoop and score when Andrew Van Ginkel stripped Michael Mayer of the ball on third and long on the Raiders' first drive, but it was reversed to an incompletion on review.  Still a heads up play by #43 and a quick punt forced by the Dolphins' defense. 

– Hill caught an in route, turned on the jets, and blew through a host of Raider defenders for a 38-yard touchdown.  I honestly don't know how a human being can move that fast.  It's surreal to watch him play football. 

– On the next drive, Hill caught a pass between four Raider defenders and spun out for a gain of 21 on third-and-8. 

– Kader Kohou absolutely crushed Hunter Renfrow for a two-yard loss that ultimately helped force a punt from the Raiders' end zone.  He's been playing FAR better since sliding back to the slot, where he's clearly more comfortable and better suited. 

–  With Hill out, Jaylen Waddle took over and had a big drive late in the first half, catching three passes for 36 yards on the drive.  Being able to turn to a player like Waddle after losing a player like Hill is a ridiculous embarrassment of riches that almost no other team in the league can match. 

– The play call for the second Miami touchdown.  The Raiders called a cover zero and blitzed a safety and middle linebacker.  Tua swung it to Salvon Ahmed on an angle route, and no one was left in the middle of the field.  For good measure, Connor Williams also peeled out to block a defender trying to get back to the middle.  A perfect call in the situation. 

– Tua was 19/21 for 205 yards and 2 touchdowns in the first half.  Aside from the fumble on the opening drive, that was a near-perfect first half. 

– Christian Wilkins blew up a third-and-one three plays after the Tagovailoa interception to start the second half, which forced a punt.  He beat his blocker and held up Josh Jacobs, and a host of Miami defenders followed to finish him off for a short loss.

– Jalen Ramsey with a diving interception of Aidan O'Connell.  He laid out in front of Tre Tucker and made a highlight-reel pick to give Miami the ball back near midfield after Sanders' missed field goal.  His two interceptions in just three games now leads the team.  Incredible. 

– Jaelan Phillips and Zach Sieler combined to bring down O'Connell early in the fourth quarter.  It was a third down stop and got the ball back to the Dolphins' offense.  Miami has been good defensively on the day, but the pressure hadn't got home until then, with no sacks and just 3 QB hits before that sack. 

– Jake Bailey drilled a 65-yard punt to force the Raiders to start around their own 15 with 6:21 left.  A key special teams play to flip the field. 

– On fourth down with 3:15 left, Wilkins beat his man and wrapped up O'Connell, who flung the ball hopelessly up into the air.  Phillips grabbed it for his first interception.  On a day where the Dolphins' offense wasn't great, its defense answered the bell with an excellent four quarters.  

– The defense had one last big play in them on the Raiders' final drive, as Ramsey skied high above Tucker in the end zone and picked off O'Connell for a second time with 25 seconds left to end it.  An incredible game for Ramsey, who's proving the Dolphins' defense is a completely different animal with #5 on the field. 

What I didn't like: 

– Tua made a nice decision to run on third down on the Dolphins' first drive, but he was stripped near the ground after picking up the first down and Las Vegas took over around the Miami 30.  A tough start for the offense. 

– The Dolphins' secondary lost Davante Adams somehow, who split both DeShon Elliott and Jevon Holland for a 46-yard touchdown.  Kind of hard to believe you let that guy get behind you, but Miami did. 

– The play call on fourth-and-one at the Raiders' four-yard line in the first half.  It was slow developing and pretty easy to peg once Hill stayed behind the line of scrimmage. Nate Hobbs read the route, broke, and tackled Hill for a three-yard loss.  Need to be able to line up and bully your way for a yard sometimes. 

– Julian Hill's fumble with under a minute left in the first half, which was recovered by the Raiders at Miami's 32-yard line.  You simply cannot put the ball on the ground right there.  Ball security has to be paramount.  It handed them three points to end the half.

 – Tua took a big hit on the last play of the half with the Dolphins at their own with 5 seconds left.  That's such an unnecessary risk.  Kneel it and get out of there.  Instead, Miami's franchise quarterback got blasted on a 30-yard pass to near midfield as time ran out.  An extremely high risk/minimal probability of reward situation.

– Tua threw an interception on the first play of the second half.  Isaiah Pola-Mao was 5 yards behind Waddle, but Tua released it anyways.  The ball was overthrown, and it was a can of corn for Pola-Mao.  It goes without question to say that ball shouldn't have been thrown. 

– Jason Sanders pulled a rare field goal attempt wide from 50 yards. He's now 0 for 2 from 50+ on the season.

– Tua almost had interception number two while trying to fit a ball to Waddle between three defenders.  Robert Spillane had it and simply dropped it.  

– A lack of situational awareness by several Miami defenders on first down with 6:21 left.  O'Connell threw a ball into the ground that was clearly backwards, but no one reached down to their feet and picked it up.  Instead, a Raider picked it up, and the officials blew it dead as incomplete.  If a Miami player had gotten that before the whistle blew, it would almost certainly have survived review and gone to the Dolphins inside the Las Vegas five-yard line.  Instead, Las Vegas broke on a long drive the other way.
