Trailing 10-9 in the fourth quarter, Miami quarterback Tyler Huntley and the Dolphins’ relentless rushing attack orchestrated a 15 play, 80-yard touchdown drive that cemented a 15-10 road win over the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon.
Miami is now 4-1 against New England under Head Coach Mike McDaniel. This is also the Dolphins’ eighth win in their last 10 meetings with the Patriots – the first time Miami has accomplished such a feat since 1991-96.
We go Inside the Numbers, presented by BDO, to take a look at the most notable team stats, individual metrics, milestones and more from Miami’s Week 5 win.
The Dolphins rushed for 193 yards on 41 carries (4.7 avg.) in Foxborough, their highest single-game rushing total since Week 5 of the 2023 season. It marked the second game with 40-plus carries under McDaniel, after Miami totaled 43 carries for 350 yards against the Broncos in 2023.
Running back Jaylen Wright led the team with 13 carries for a career-high 86 yards (6.6 avg.). His 86 rushing yards are the second-most by a rookie running back this season, as Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. tallied 129 yards during the late-afternoon slate of Week 5.
After being sidelined since the season opener, running back Raheem Mostert had a strong performance in his return, rushing the ball 19 times for 80 yards (4.2 avg.). This was the first game since Week 3 of the 2023 season against Denver in which Miami had two 80-plus yard rushers.
Fullback Alec Ingold scored his sixth-career touchdown on a three-yard run in the fourth quarter, which gave Miami the game-clinching advantage.
Successful Day For Sanders
Kicker Jason Sanders made field goals of 54, 32 and 47 yards. This was the 20th time in his career that he made at least three field goals in a game. It’s also the most he’s tallied in a game since he knocked five kicks through the uprights in Week 16 of the 2023 season against the Dallas Cowboys.
