Dolphins defense limits Lions as Malik Willis struggles with injury

The Miami Dolphins' defense held the Detroit Lions to only 19 points while the offense floundered during their game on November 10, 2026, leaving Miami with a 1-7 record. Rookie Chris Johnson contributed with an interception, and the run defense contained Jahmyr Gibbs to 74 rushing yards. However, quarterback Malik Willis battled a groin injury, resulting in limited mobility and a lack of offensive production. Coach Jeff Hafley acknowledged Willis’s struggle to escape pressure, emphasizing the need for improvements as the team navigates a challenging rebuild. The Dolphins will next face the Indianapolis Colts on November 15 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
