In typical Dolphin fashion, the team squeaked out a victory in nail biting fashion. Thanks mostly to Cody Parkey, the Dolphins were able to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers. Parkey hit all four of his field goal attempts and nailed the 54 yarder to win it. Chargers kicker Younghoe Koo missed the game winning field goal at the end of the fourth quarter. The Dolphins will head home to prepare for next weeks match-up against division rival, the New York Jets.
