This Sunday in an interconference game of the NFL in Week 13, the Miami Dolphins continue to reap victories and reach the fifth in a row when accounting for the New York Giants by a score of 9-20 at Hard Rock Stadium.
Glennon made no difference, but Jones wasn’t surprised either
The first half of this game was a totally defensive duel due to the obvious limitation of both attacks. On the NY side we had the substitute QB Mike Glennon starting instead of Daniel Jones, who is dealing with a neck injury that is not yet known how long he will leave out.
At this point, it seems indistinct who the Giants QB is, as Jones continues to fall short of expectations and Glennon finished the game with 23 completions in 44 attempts, no TD and an interception, numbers that leave much to be desired. But it doesn’t seem unusual against the Dolphins defense who have only allowed 55 points in their last 5 wins, certainly something that has helped that streak.
The RB of the Giants, Saquon Barkley He is another disappointed player on this team, and this game was no exception, finishing with 55 yards on 11 carries and 19 yards on 6 catches. The only redeemable thing for him is that with those numbers he surpassed 4000 total yards in his career, becoming the fastest player to reach this number for the Giants. But while we know what Barkley is capable of, its durability and availability are still its main weakness.
The Dolphins continue to do what is necessary and Tua is fine-tuned
On the part of the Dolphins, the offense could not pick up pace throughout the game, it was not until the end of the second quarter that we saw an offensive series that ended in six points. It has already been commented before, Tua Tagovailoa It is the least of the offense’s problems, since, as we said at the beginning of the season, the precision of their passing has been a factor in the Dolphins having 5 wins in a row.
Today he finished with 244 yards on 33 completions on 44 attempts, and he was dealing his passes well – up to eight different players had at least one catch. Jaylen Waddle is starting to look like that WR that was expected from your selection, now with 90 yards on 9 receptions. However, the running game is still non-existent and may be a factor as to why the offense is not taking hold, as well as the tendency to throw only short passes.
In short, it was a difficult game to watch. The Dolphins’ second touchdown came until the fourth quarter, when Tagovailoa found Isaiah Ford after a 61-yard drive. Also, we saw 12 punts between the two teams. on the one hand, due to the good defense of the Dolphins, added to the lack of forcefulness and equal rhythm on the part of Brian Flores’ team,
Fortunately for Miami, the victory helps them continue their streak that could still put them in the playoffs if they keep winning, while The Giants continue to sink in the NFC East and will most likely stay at the bottom of the division.
