Going in as double-digit underdogs, no one expected things to come easy for the Miami Dolphins when they visited the Carolina Panthers Monday night. After 60 minutes of play, things were worse than anyone anticipated, as the Fins had no answer for Cam Newton, finishing on the wrong end of a 45-21 thrashing.
The loss drops Miami’s record to 4-5 on the year and the team has now lost three straight games. Meanwhile, Carolina extended its winning streak to three games and now sports at 7-3 record.
Offense: C+
Offensively, Miami didn’t perform poorly enough to get blown out by 24 points, particularly going up against the best defense in the league.
