Ramsey made two incredible interceptions to seal victory for his Dolphins who’s number one ranked offense deeply struggled with turnovers against a game Raiders defense. The Raiders forced three Dolphins turnovers on the day. However, those turnovers didn’t matter as the Raiders only turned those into two field goals. The Dolphins were led in large part by the effort of Jalen Ramsey

"He's the best corner in the league, man," Tyreke Hill said. "The way he laid out for that last pass just goes to show how much he cares about this team. A lot of guys, they'll knock it down, they'll say, 'Ah, I could land weird.' The way he just laid out for his team just really shows how he cares about his brothers."

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovaiola went 28 of 39 with 325 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for Miami. He also lost his third fumble of the season on a scramble on the Dolphins’ opening drive. Hill caught his league-leading eighth touchdown of the season and had 146 yards on 10 catches. Raiders rookie quarterback Aiden O”Connel struggled with turnovers throwing three interceptions for 271 yards. The Raiders failed to establish a rhythm on offense. Dolphins defensive coordinator did an excellent job throwing a combination of blitzes to fluster the young rookie. 

“I’m learning how hard the NFL is and how hard it is to win," O'Connell said. “Kudos to our defense. They played so well in the second half. Kept us in the game. It comes down to our offense. Be better all around, and it starts with me.”

Las Vegas (5-6) had a two-game winning streak snapped, and the victory by Miami (7-3) strengthened its hold atop the AFC East.
