Running back Jerome Ford gained a well-earned 82 total yards yards on 15 touches. Elijah Moore and rookie Cedric Tillman caught a combined five passes for 65 yards. Amari Cooper played hurt, but still had 77 yards on seven grabs. David Njoku caught six passes for 91 yards in the first half alone. ![]() Joe Flacco was good, but he had help from a group of skill players who out-played their counterparts. Each quarterback has now won at least one of their starts. Cleveland is now just the 13th team since 1950 to have four different quarterbacks start multiple games. The Browns continue to get winning quarterback play, regardless of who is under center. Titans-Dolphins grades by John Breech (Love the grades? Hate the grades? Let him know on Twitter.) The Dolphins are now 2-7 in December/January under Mike McDaniel and that might be the most concerning stat of all for a team that has high aspirations this year. Despite getting those gifts, the Dolphins still couldn't win. ![]() Yes, Miami scored 27 points, but the Titans' gift-wrapped three touchdowns for them with inexcusable errors (A pick-six, a muffed punt, a bad pitch from Will Levis to Derrick Henry that Miami recovered at Tennessee's 12). It's almost impossible to blow a 14-point lead in the final three minutes of a game, but the Dolphins did it here. The Dolphins also learned that nothing is over in the NFL until it's over. The Dolphins had THREE different possessions in this game where they drove inside of Tennessee's 3-yard line, but didn't get a TD. The Dolphins also learned that they need to find some better plays near the goal line. The receiver missed a chunk of the game due to an ankle injury and while he was out, the offense simply couldn't move the ball. For one, they learned that their offense isn't very good without Tyreek Hill. The Dolphins probably don't need to panic after this loss, but they should be alarmed. The Titans went into a Miami as a 14-point underdog, which makes this the biggest point spread upset in two years. ![]() This was the largest upset win in the league since the 2021 Colts-Jags regular season finale.In that game, the Colts were trailing 35-14 with four minutes left, before pulling out a 38-35 win in overtime. The last time a comeback like this happened in a Monday game was Peyton Manning's famous comeback with the Colts in 2003.The Titans are the first team in NFL history to make a comeback by 14 point or more in the final three minutes and WIN IN REGULATION.That's four wins compared to 2,074 losses (The last team to pull off a similar comeback was the Saints in 2017). ![]()
