Brock Osweiler also had a night to remember, finishing with only three incomplete passes as will — in 13 attempts. Of course, his yardage wasn’t great, but he was much more efficient than a week ago, which is something he needed as he tries to salvage his career in South Beach.
The offense overall though wasn’t great. They moved the ball but settled for far too many field goals, which was something head coach Adam Gase lamented after their 27-20 loss to the Panthers. Their defense also struggled, especially when it came to trying to stop running back Christian McCaffrey — who carved them up in the first half. He gashed them for 92 yards on the ground, with 71 coming off one carry.
The lone bright spot was defensive end Robert Quinn, who sacked Cam Newton twice. He was acquired this offseason from the L.A. Rams and could slide right into a role with Miami where he becomes their No. 1 pass rusher. Even with him though, this team has a long way to go.
