Dolphins Fall 19-9 to Lions as Gibbs Scores and Bates Kicks Four Field Goals
The Miami Dolphins lost 19-9 to the Detroit Lions at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on November 8, falling to 1-7 with just one win at the season's midpoint. Detroit won its fourth straight to improve to 6-2.
Miami's defense played well, holding the league's top-ranked Lions offense to 271 yards and trailing only 16-6 after three quarters, but the offense committed 11 penalties that wiped out multiple promising drives. Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs scored on an 8-yard run on fourth-and-goal late in the third quarter to stretch the lead, finishing with 74 yards on 20 carries. Kicker Jake Bates made all four of his field goals, from 28, 40, 33 and 43 yards, to power the win.
Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis went 13 of 25 for 128 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. Lions quarterback Jared Goff finished 17 of 25 for 170 yards, also without a touchdown pass — his first game this season without one. Miami next visits the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, November 15; Detroit travels to Munich, Germany, to face the New England Patriots the same day.
