Overview
- Detroit beat Miami 19-9 at Hard Rock Stadium in Week 9 with the Lions’ defense keeping the Dolphins out of the end zone.
- Jared Goff finished 17 of 25 for 170 yards with no touchdown passes, one interception, and three sacks, ending a 30-game regular-season streak of games with a touchdown pass.
- Kicker Jake Bates accounted for 12 of Detroit’s points with four field goals and Jahmyr Gibbs scored the Lions’ lone touchdown on an 8-yard fourth-down run.
- Miami dropped to 1-7 but coach Jeff Hafley praised his defense’s physical play after the game and pointed to the outing as a sign of progress.
- Detroit’s win masked offensive limits that could matter in the short term as the team copes with key injuries such as Jack Campbell’s move to injured reserve and prepares for its next game in Munich.
