Malik Washington, a rookie for the Miami Dolphins, scored his first NFL touchdown on an 18-yard end around play, giving the Dolphins an early 7-0 lead just three minutes into the game against the Los Angeles Rams in Los Angeles. Jaylen Waddle had an impressive opening drive, accumulating 55 receiving yards—his highest since Week 1—and exceeding his total yardage from the past three games combined. Tua Tagovailoa connected with Waddle for gains of 19 and 36 yards, the latter on a crucial third-and-13 where he evaded pressure before making the throw. The five-play scoring drive showcased the Dolphins' explosive offense early in this Week 10 Monday Night Football matchup.
