In a historic romp of the Broncos, the Dolphins find a new gear in the running game with the help of rookie De'Von Achane.
And to think, they were only getting started.history during a 70-20 demolition of the Broncos. That was the score of the actual game, not some glitch in a video game simulation. In a masterpiece of offense execution, the Dolphins smashed the franchise record for points in a game and then kept going. They tallied 726 yards, the second-most in NFL history. Miami tried to run the clock out late in the fourth quarter, only to keep running toward the end zone.
“Every once in a while in the NFL, you get your butt kicked,” Broncos head coach Sean Payton said. “But this was something different.”Indeed it was. Nobody had scored this many points in the league Lyndon B. Johnson was President of the United States. The only drama as the demolition wound down was whether the Dolphins would break the NFL record for points in a regular-season game. The record is 72, and with the Dolphins sitting on 70, facing a fourth down and in field-goal range as the final seconds ticked away, the crowd chanted, “Three! More! Points!” Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel instead asked backup quarterback“Chasing points and chasing a record is not what we came to do,” McDaniel said afterward.
On their way to a historic throttling — the Broncos’ previous record for points allowed in a regular-season game was 59 — the Dolphins may have unearthed another star on an offense that already has an embarrassment of riches. Achane, the third-round pick out of Texas A&M, missed much of the preseason with a shoulder injury and was made inactive in Week 1.
“He’s like a sponge the way he understands the concepts,” said Mostert, who now shares a record with his rookie teammate for total touchdowns in a game after both reached the end zone four times Sunday.And, like so many other weapons on this Miami roster, Achane did it all with uncommon speed.1.
