The Miami Dolphins had a historic day on Sunday, December 27th, as they blew out the Denver Broncos in a 42-17 victory. The Dolphins set multiple records in the win, but fell short of others.
The Dolphins set a franchise record for most points scored in a single game, with 42. They also set a team record for most yards gained in a single game, with 541. The Dolphins’ offense was firing on all cylinders, with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing for 350 yards and three touchdowns.
The Dolphins’ defense also had an impressive performance, holding the Broncos to just 17 points and forcing four turnovers. Linebacker Jerome Baker had a career-high two interceptions, while defensive end Shaq Lawson recorded two sacks.
Despite the impressive performance, the Dolphins fell short of some records. They were unable to break the team record for most passing yards in a single game, which is currently held by Dan Marino with 564 yards in 1994. They also failed to break the team record for most rushing yards in a single game, which is currently held by Ricky Williams with 216 yards in 2002.
Overall, it was an impressive performance by the Dolphins and a great way to end the season. They set multiple records and put together a complete team effort in the win over the Broncos. The Dolphins will look to build on this performance next season and hopefully break some of the records they fell short of this time around.
