The Miami Dolphins, led by new head coach Mike McDaniel, defeated the New England Patriots on Sunday 20-7 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
In the season opener, Miami had some impressive performances from veterans and some surprising ones from some of their young up-and-comers.
McDaniel’s team forced the Patriots to commit three turnovers, two fumbles and an interception, that led to either a score or the end of the game completely. Offensively, while there were a couple of mistakes that were close to turnovers, they were able to keep from giving the ball up.
Here were the five highest-graded Dolphins in their first win of 2022, according to Pro Football Focus.
