The Miami Dolphins’ defensive line took a pair of quick hits on Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
One drive after William Hayes left the game with a knee injury, defensive tackle Akeem Spence was ejected in the second quarter after being called for an unnecessary roughness call after pulling off an Oakland Raiders player’s helmet on third down. The play negated a Cam Wake sack and allowed Oakland to continue a 16-play, 68-yard drive capped with a 25-yard field goal by Mike Nugent and take a 10-7 lead with 4:04 left in the first half. The drive took 8:37 off the game clock.
