In the battle against ugly offenses, Titans outshine Dolphins

There was some really bad offensive football on display in Miami tonight.

The Dolphins were ready for their third quarterback of the season in Tyler Huntley. The Titans lost starter Will Levis to a shoulder injury and turned to backup Mason Rudolph. Neither quarterback played well in the Titans’ 31-12 win.

But Rudolph was probably the best of the bunch, completing 9 of 17 passes for 85 yards but not throwing an interception, and that was good enough for the Titans to win. Titans running back Tony Pollard had 22 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown.

Huntley could not consistently move the Dolphins’ offense, and any hope the Dolphins had of a late comeback was extinguished when Huntley was flagged for intentional grounding in the end zone late in the fourth quarter, giving the Titans a safety.

Miami faces big questions and looks like the worst team in the NFL without Tua Tagovailoa. It’s hard to imagine this Dolphins team going anywhere.

The Titans don’t seem to be going anywhere either, but they got their first win of the season tonight in a victory that leaves both teams’ records at 1-3.
