Devon Walker: "Saquon Barkley ran for 211 yards and 2 touchdowns on 14 carries, and that was the game—Miami had 7 rushing yards total and couldn't move the ball enough to stay on the field." Caleb Brooks: "Miami's defense managed only 2 sacks and couldn't generate meaningful pressure, and when you're giving up 353 yards total while generating almost nothing on your own, that's a unit playing without answers."

Philadelphia dismantled Miami 31-0, a differential so complete it barely qualifies as competitive. Saquon Barkley ran 14 times for 211 yards and 2 touchdowns, operating against a defense that allowed 228 rushing yards total while generating only 7 of their own. The Dolphins managed 48 yards of offense, turned the ball over 3 times, and watched Malik Willis throw 3 interceptions with no touchdowns. The Eagles improved to 7-1; Miami fell to 0-7.

Bills needed all sixty minutes, edging Dolphins 24-21. Josh Allen was steady for Bills — 16/28, 227 yards, 2 TD. Jeremiah Smith did the catching for Bills — 3 catches, 87 yards, 1 TD. Total yards: Bills 368, Dolphins 286.

Giveaways decided this one. Bills 25, Dolphins 10. Josh Allen did the damage for Bills — 26/37, 248 yards, 2 TD. DJ Moore was the target for Bills — 10 catches, 120 yards, 1 TD. Through the air: Bills 248, Dolphins 158.

Daniel Keller: "Miami gave this away before kickoff—2 turnovers to none, and Herbert's 4 touchdown passes made them pay for every one." Marcus Reyes: "Herbert threw 4 touchdowns on 19 completions—efficient enough to obscure that Miami's defense generated 4 sacks and still couldn't keep Los Angeles from running for 150 yards." Zoe Bell: "Miami threw 35 times and still lost the turnover battle—the real problem isn't the playcalling, it's that Willis had to beat a team that didn't beat itself, and 292 passing yards can't cover for two gifts."

The Chargers beat the Dolphins 40-30 behind Justin Herbert's 4 touchdown passes and a dominant rushing attack that gained 150 yards on the ground. Los Angeles turned the ball over 0 times while Miami gave it away twice, the decisive edge in a game where the Chargers out-gained Miami 432 to 380 total yards. Ladd McConkey caught 7 passes for 113 yards and a score, while Malik Willis threw for 292 yards and 3 touchdowns in the losing effort.

Chicago routed Miami 63-23, a 40-point gap that understates how thoroughly the Bears controlled the line of scrimmage. D'Andre Swift ran for 192 yards and 3 touchdowns on 12 carries, while Miami's ground game managed 18 yards on 4 attempts. Malik Willis threw for 398 yards and 3 touchdowns but also 5 interceptions, and even Caleb Douglas's 261 receiving yards and 3 touchdown catches couldn't compensate for the Dolphins turning the ball over 5 times in a game where they abandoned any pretense of balance, calling 45 passes and 4 runs.

Jets took care of Dolphins, 35-21. Geno Smith did the damage for Jets — 27/38, 366 yards, 4 TD. Malik Willis did the damage for Dolphins — 20/38, 219 yards, 2 TD — in a losing effort. Make it 3 consecutive games past 250 for Geno Smith. Total yards: Jets 494, Dolphins 301.
