The Miami Dolphins welcomed the Dallas Cowboys into Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday and beat them 22-20 to clinch a spot in the postseason.
Mike McDaniel’s team didn’t play their best, but they battled and were able to outscore their opponents to maintain their two-game lead over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East.
Throughout the contest, Dolphins fans on social media were riding a rollercoaster along with their team’s performance. Here’s what they had to say:
DeShon Elliott and Brandon Jones just made 2 back to back plays to stop the cowboys on the goal line 🥹

Yeah, Vic Fangio needs a new CeeDee Lamb plan

I just want one game where the Dolphins don’t lose a key player to injury

AVG is not average. Andrew Van Ginkel is a great player.

Zach Sieler is such a bargain right now. If he was an impending free agent he might be at $18M a season.

Love the pre-snap motion from McDaniels to create the lay up for Tua to Mostert. Easy, creative, money! 💪

Awful attempt of a drive to start the half. Bad play calling by Mike McDaniel. Tua quick to give up on 3rd down.
