The Miami Dolphins waited all season for this kind of performance from veteran quarterback Jay Cutler.
Led by Cutler, Miami’s offense entered Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders ranked last in yards per game and points per game.
Miami struggled defensively and on special teams to fall to.500 and 0-2 in prime-time games.
Miami’s franchise record of 12 straight wins in games decided by seven points or fewer also ended in the loss to Oakland.
Much of the attention Sunday was on Miami’s running backs following last week’s trade of Pro Bowl tailback Jay Ajayi, who accounted for 86 percent of the team’s running game before Sunday.
Tailbacks Damien Williams and Kenyan Drake entered Sunday’s game with just 57 combined rushing yards.
Drake, who had 69 rushing yards, made a costly mistake early in the game.
“I need to make sure that I’m mindful of keeping it high and tight,” Drake said after the game.
