CINCINNATI — Miami Dolphins rookie running back Gerrid Doaks played his college football just more than three miles from Cincinnati’s Paul Brown Stadium.
In the Dolphins’ preseason finale at the Bengals, Doaks, the University of Cincinnati alum, was one of the standouts, scoring two touchdowns as Miami won, 29-26, on a late 34-yard fourth-down touchdown pass from Reid Sinnett to tight end Chris Myarick.
Sinnett fired to the end zone near the pylon, and Myarick used his 6-foot-5 frame to go up and come down with it on a fourth-and-15 from the Bengals’ 34-yard line. The Bengals drove into Dolphins’ territory in the final seconds, but second-year cornerback Noah Igbinoghene deflected a fourth-down pass to seal the exhibition victory.
