On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins went into SoFi Stadium and stole a win from the Los Angeles Chargers, downing their opponent 36-34.

Mike McDaniel’s offense proved to be extremely dangerous, as they scored points on all but three drives, two, of which were turnovers that could’ve been avoided.
Vic Fangio’s defense was less-than-impressive, allowing Justin Herbert to throw, and the running backs to run, all over them. Except, when the team needed them to step up on the final drive, they got two sacks that essentially ended the game.
Throughout the contest, fans rode an emotional rollercoaster. Here’s what they had to say:
Jaylen Waddle the best receiver in football 😭

Unacceptable Connor Williams.

that 14-point swing is gonna sting
In a sport that's often decided by 3-4 plays, self-inflicted wounds can't happen

Connor Williams hates the Miami dolphins

Mostert said, Dalvin who?
— Sammy (@SamWalt22) September 10, 2023
The real reason the Dolphins didn’t trade for Jonathan Taylor?
Raheem Mostert is better.

This Defense is awful 🤦🏽♂️
Its only week 1 but this game could have a huge impact later on and I have higher standards because that’s what we were all sold with bringing in Vic Fangio, something has to give.
Side note: wtf is going on with Howard on mistakes he doesn’t ever make— King DTA 👑🐬🆙 (@King__DTA) September 10, 2023
Tyreek Hill is SPECIAL man. Wow

Even with his track team of receivers, Tua just doesn't have enough arm to be great.
— Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless) September 10, 2023
Kohou take a bow, been unreal on these last few plays, genuine bright spot in this defence

Of all people this afternoon in Inglewood, California… the Dolphins leave Austin Ekeler uncovered.

Some of these tight window throws Tua is hitting — I think some people call that "arm arrogance"
