Game Overview
In a highly anticipated Week 7 matchup, the Miami Dolphins faced the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field. The game was marked by challenging weather conditions, including rain and heavy winds, which significantly impacted gameplay.
Miami Dolphins: A Season in Struggle
The Dolphins entered the game with a 1-5 record, aiming to turn their season around. However, they faced challenges both on and off the field. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, despite his experience, struggled with turnovers, throwing three interceptions during the game. Backup quarterback Quinn Ewers made his NFL debut, completing 5 of 8 passes for 53 yards, but the team’s offensive efforts fell short.
Cleveland Browns: A Dominant Performance
The Browns, with a 1-5 record, were eager to secure a win. Rookie running back Quinshon Judkins delivered an outstanding performance, scoring three rushing touchdowns, including a 46-yard run and two from Wildcat formations. The defense was equally impressive, forcing multiple turnovers, including interceptions by Tyson Campbell, Rayshawn Jenkins, and Ronnie Hickman, and a strip-sack by Grant Delpit. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel managed the game efficiently, contributing to the team’s first multi-touchdown game of the season.
Weather Impact
