The Splash Zone 12/12/22: Dolphins flop against Chargers

A big game in primetime and the Miami Dolphins absolutely embarrassed themselves on national television. The Los Angeles Chargers were so injured on defense, but you wouldn’t have known as Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins offense were nonexistent in this game. Yes, there are points on the scoreboard but that was one of the worst offensive performances by the Dolphins in ages. The San Francisco 49ers showed what to do against the Dolphins offense and the Chargers pretty much copied that game plan. The Dolphins defense was not great (again), but gave plenty of chances for the offense to score some points. The Dolphins have to travel again and it’s not going to be easier when the take on the Buffalo Bills Saturday.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
