Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.


The Miami Dolphins defense may not have had a great performance on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, but it didn’t matter as the Dolphins offense was able to carry the team to victory. When the defense needed to make a stop at the end of the game, they did. But the story of this game will be about the performance of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the rest of the Dolphins offense. The whole offense was firing on all cylinders with Tua lighting it up through the air, Hill running routes all over the place, and the offensive line not giving up a sack against the tandem of Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa.
