But when it mattered most, when it was time to win the game, when that ever-so-important fourth quarter loomed so large, it was the Dolphins that came up with all of the game-defining plays.
That’s why, with their 50th anniversary season now officially underway, they are 1-0 today. That’s the big takeaway from this victory. Somehow, even when so much goes wrong, you persevere. You overcome.
I’ve seen many Dolphins teams over the years that might have lost this game. You start slow, you get into a funk and you can’t recover. But this team is different. We saw signs of it in the preseason. We saw even further proof of that in a fourth quarter that began with a 10-7 deficit and ended with a 17-10 victory. You can go ahead and exhale. Yes, it was that type of game.
