The Miami Dolphins snapped their three-game losing streak on Monday night, defeating the Los Angeles Rams 23-15 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Miami opened the game needing less than three minutes to drive 70-yards and score the game’s first points on an 18-yard touchdown run by rookie Malik Washington, the first of his NFL career. Tyreek Hill caught his second touchdown of the season in the third quarter on a short throw by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa – halting a career-long seven-game streak without a touchdown for him – to extend Miami’s lead to 17-6, an advantage they never relinquished as the Dolphins snapped the Rams’ three-game win streak. Miami’s kicker Jason Sanders also made all three of his field goals. “I think it’s a testament to the character of this team,” Tagovailoa said after the game. “We’ve come a long way through however many losses in a row. The resilience of this team, with the external noise, everyone counting us out. “Hopefully this is an opportunity for us to not waste. Hopefully we can go on a run with this win and find our rhythm towards the back end of the season.” After making the playoffs last year, Miami’s season was derailed when Tagovailoa suffered a concussion during the team’s Week 2 loss against the Buffalo Bills. He missed the next four games and the Dolphins went 1-3 during his absence.
