Bengals Grades After Win over Dolphins in Week 5
Miami turned the ball over four times as Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase helped Cincinnati build a 28-10 lead.
On Sunday, the Cincinnati Bengals improved to 3-2 by defeating the Miami Dolphins 31-24, dropping Miami to 0-5 for the first time since 2019.
Quarterback Malik Willis struggled for the Dolphins, completing 15 of 27 passes for 137 yards with two interceptions and a lost fumble. Willis has recorded four games with a passer rating at 67 or worse this season.
Running back Ollie Gordon II carried the ball 18 times for 88 yards and a touchdown, while rookie wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. recorded three receptions for 30 yards and his first NFL touchdown.
Miami's pass rush failed to record a single sack against Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who finished with 190 yards and four touchdowns. The defense allowed Cincinnati to establish an insurmountable lead.
During the upcoming bye week, head coach Hafley and his staff must identify the team's strengths to pursue wins in the remaining 12 games. The Dolphins remain one of only three winless teams in the NFL.
