In a tightly contested preseason game, the Miami Dolphins secured a 13-6 victory over the Washington Commanders at Hard Rock Stadium. Tua Tagovailoa led an efficient opening drive for the Dolphins, completing 5 of 5 passes, culminating in a strategic 13-yard touchdown to River Cracraft on a fourth-and-1 play. The Dolphins capitalized on their early momentum, thanks partly to Tagovailoa's precision, as he settled into his first game following a lucrative contract extension.
Washington's rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels showed promise, connecting for 78 passing yards and contributing additional yardage on the ground. However, Riley Patterson's inconsistency weighed on Washington's chances, highlighted by two missed field goals. Miami's kicker, Jason Sanders, made crucial contributions with successful field goals in critical moments. Washington's final efforts to bridge the score were thwarted by a decisive interception by Miami's Mark Perry, with the Dolphins defense effectively nullifying Washington's second-half opportunities.
