The Miami Dolphins came back from a large deficit to defeat the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

It was a disappointing home-opener for the Washington Redskins in Week One against the Miami Dolphins. Injuries coupled with a blown lead will only heighten frustrations in the nation’s capital.

Early in the contest, DeSean Jackson went down with a hamstring injury following a long pass play and would not return to the game. Despite being without one of his primary weapons, Kirk Cousins guided Washington to a 10-0 lead thanks to a touchdown strike to Jordan Reed late in the second quarter. Unfortunately for the Redskins, that was as bright as things would be.

Ryan Tannehill would lead an efficient nine-play, 80-yard touchdown drive in the half’s final 1:22 and close Miami’s halftime deficit to 10-7. After a scoreless third quarter, the Dolphins would post 10 points in the final period, capped off by a 69-yard punt return touchdown by Jarvis Landry.

Thanks to 17 unanswered points, Miami would win the game, 17-10.

Three Stars

Alfred Morris – 25 carries, 121 yards

Jarvis Landry – 8 receptions, 53 yards; 1 carry, 14 yards; 2 punt returns, 74 yards, 1 TD
