Dolphins earn 5th straight win by beating Chargers 29-21

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The battle of young quarterbacks was decided by special teams and the Miami Dolphins’ blitz-happy defense. Tua Tagovailoa had help from a less-heralded rookie while Justin Herbert struggled against a relentless pass rush, and the surprising Dolphins earned their fifth consecutive victory by beating the Los Angeles Chargers 29-21 Sunday. The Dolphins’ Salvon Ahmed, making his first career start, ran for 85 yards on 21 carries and scored a 1-yard touchdown on his team’s first play. At times they brought one more than we could block.” The Dolphins made it difficult for Herbert to throw downfield, and they allowed only three catches by Keenan Allen and two by Mike Williams. “Those guys fly around on defense.” Miami’s Emmanuel Ogbah had a full sack for the sixth game in a row, and on the next play Xavien Howard picked off Herbert for his fifth interception of the year, setting up Miami’s final touchdown.
