The Miami Dolphins and the Philadelphia Eagles are going head-to-head on the gridiron. The Eagles are up by a touchdown, soaring high with a 7-point lead. But the aquatic dynamos are in choppy waters, trying to find their rhythm with a scoreboard reading 17-10. Adding to the drama, the Dolphins’ star offensive tackle, Isaiah Wynn, got hit with a quad injury, and now he’s got that ‘questionable to return’ label.

Wynn’s departure is making waves in the Dolphins’ game, and not the good kind of waves, I tell ya!

Fast forward to the Dolphins vs. Eagles clash, and it’s like the Miami run game hit a speed bump, going -7 in the first half! Even Fox Sports couldn’t help but dish out the stats on their social media platform ‘X,’ with a caption that read, ‘Heading into tonight’s game, the Miami Dolphins averaged 181.8 rushing yards per game, leading the NFL.‘
