The Miami Dolphins moved to 5-1 for the first time since 2002 after a 42-21 victory over the Carolina Panthers in South Florida on Sunday.
The game got off to a shaky start for the Dolphins — spotting the Panthers a multiple touchdown lead before clamping things down defensively while carving up the opposing defense with chunk plays through the air and on the ground on offense.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was once again sharp, finishing the contest with 21 completions on 31 attempts for 262 yards passing and three touchdowns. He ended his day midway through the fourth quarter with the game under control — leaving with a 126.
