Miami’s defense kept Detroit out of the end zone in the first half Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium, but the Dolphins lost 19–9. The result ended Lions quarterback Jared Goff’s run of 30 consecutive games with a touchdown pass.
Rookie cornerback Chris Johnson intercepted Goff in the first half, setting up one of Zane Gonzalez’s field goals. That pick gave Miami three different rookies with an interception this season for the first time in franchise history, according to the team.
Miami trailed 6–3 at the break. Detroit turned a second-half takeaway into another field goal, and Gonzalez hit from 52 yards to bring Miami back within three. The Dolphins finished with nine points.
