Miami scored on their opening drive and maintained the lead throughout the entire contest to secure the 23-15 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football, improving their record to 3-6 on the season.
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 10 win.
Miami held Los Angeles to five field goals, with the Rams unable to turn any of their three red zone possessions into touchdowns. It is the first time the Dolphins have held their opponent without a touchdown since Week 15 of the 2023 season in a 30-0 shutout over the N.Y. Jets.
The Dolphins also forced two turnovers, an interception by linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. in the first quarter and a forced fumble by defensive tackle Da’Shawn Hand that was recovered by Kendall Fuller in the second quarter. It marked the second time this season the team has created multiple takeaways in a game.
The Dolphins defense continued their strong performance on third down, limiting the Rams to just three conversions on their 12 attempts. Miami has held their opponents to a third down conversion rate of 25.0% or less in three of the team’s nine games this season, tied for the third-most games in the NFL. For the year, Miami’s defense has allowed opposing teams to convert just 32.0% of their third downs, good for the third-best mark in the league.
Miami limited Los Angeles to 70 rushing yards and an average of 3.9 yards per carry. The 70 rushing yards is the lowest mark the Dolphins have allowed in a game this season and lowest since allowing 23 to the Jets in Week 15 last season.
