Overview
- Miami beat Washington 16-13 in Madrid, the NFL’s first regular-season game in Spain, after Jack Jones intercepted Marcus Mariota on the first play of overtime to set up the game-winning 29-yard field goal.
- Mike McDaniel bypassed a late go-ahead field goal for a fourth-and-goal run and later defended the decision by citing field position and Washington’s kickoff return proficiency.
- The Dolphins head into a bye at 4-7 after consecutive wins, with New York Times/Athletic models keeping their playoff odds low unless they stack multiple victories after the break.
- Ian Rapoport reports Stephen Ross wants McDaniel to continue as coach, and that McDaniel’s and Tua Tagovailoa’s futures are linked, with Tua carrying a reported $56.4 million 2026 cap hit.
- Following the firing of GM Chris Grier, Dianna Russini reports Miami’s general manager vacancy is attracting significant leaguewide interest.
