The Miami Dolphins emerged victorious in their preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons, marking a 20-13 triumph at Hard Rock Stadium. Atlanta's rookie quarterback, Michael Penix Jr., showcased promise with a 41-yard completion to Chris Blair, but it was Carlos Washington Jr.'s 1-yard touchdown run that gave the Falcons an early lead alongside a field goal from Younghoe Koo. Despite Penix's notable efforts, the Falcons struggled in the face of Miami's defensive adjustments.
Miami responded assertively in the second quarter as Skylar Thompson connected with Jeff Wilson Jr. for a 6-yard touchdown, leveling the score.
