The third week of the 2023 NFL season was full of interesting storylines, but the Miami Dolphins took all the limelight with their commanding win over the Denver Broncos at the Hard Rock Stadium.
The Fins’ offense put on a show on Sunday, setting a franchise record and falling just short from the league record by scoring 70 points against Russell Wilson and company, who only managed to put up 20 points on the scoreboard.
Tua Tagovailoa had a memorable performance with four touchdown passes, while running backs Devon Achane and Raheem Mostert also made history by scoring four TDs each. With this ruthless performance, the Dolphins managed to log more points in one game than many teams in three weeks.
