Dolphins Make NFL History with 70-20 Blowout Win over Broncos
Miami, FL – In a game that will go down in NFL history, the Miami Dolphins delivered a record-breaking performance as they steamrolled over the Denver Broncos with a jaw-dropping final score of 70-20. Led by star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and backup Mike White, the Dolphins showcased an unstoppable offense that rewrote the record books.
Entering Week 3 as an early MVP candidate, Tagovailoa displayed his stellar form by throwing four touchdown passes, all while throwing just three incompletions. His precision and decision-making on the field were unmatched, solidifying his status as one of the league’s top quarterbacks.
Helping Tagovailoa’s cause was running back Raheem Mostert, who had a remarkable four touchdowns of his own. Mostert’s explosive performance added to the historic win, becoming a key factor in the Dolphins’ dominance over the Broncos.
The Dolphins’ offensive output was nothing short of extraordinary. Accumulating an astounding 726 yards in total offense, Miami’s performance ranks as the second-most yards in a single NFL game, trailing only the 1951 Rams with 735 yards. Their success on the ground and through the air was unmatched, as they became the first team in NFL history to achieve five passing touchdowns and five rushing touchdowns in a single game.
This game was not only monumental for the Dolphins in terms of NFL history but for the franchise as well. Miami became just the fourth team in NFL history to score 70 or more points in a game, joining the 1940 Bears, 1966 Washington team, and the 1950 Rams in this elite category. Furthermore, they became the second team since 1940 to have multiple players with four touchdowns in a game, with the 2004 Chiefs being the other.
The offensive onslaught did not stop there. The Dolphins ran 71 plays and averaged an astonishing 10.2 yards per play, setting a new benchmark for yards per play by a team with 70 or more offensive plays since 1960. Rookie Devon Achane also etched his name in the record books, setting a new Dolphins rookie rushing record with 203 yards on the ground.
The final score was a rarity in the NFL, with the Dolphins scoring more points in this single game than the Broncos had scored all season. The Dolphins’ success extends beyond this game, as their 130 points scored through three games ties them for the second-most by any team in NFL history, only trailing the 1968 Cowboys who had 132.
This historic day for the Dolphins is sure to be remembered for years to come. The team’s outstanding performance on offense, led by Tagovailoa and Mostert, has solidified Miami’s place in NFL history as one of the greatest offenses to take the field. As the afternoon progresses, more details are expected to emerge about this unforgettable achievement.
