While not in the most convincing fashion, the Detroit Lions (6-2) have now won four straight and continue to keep pace with the rest of the NFC North, securing a 19-9 road win over the Miami Dolphins (1-7) on Sunday afternoon.
Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs' 8-yard touchdown run on a 4th-and-1 snap in the third quarter proved to be the game-winning score. For the first time this season, Jared Goff was held without a touchdown pass, completing 17 of 25 passes for 170 yards. He also threw an interception for the second straight game.
Defensively, the Lions registered three sacks and Chuck Clark intercepted Miami quarterback Malik Willis.

That was Frazier who got bull rushed on third down causing sack as Lions have to settle for FG. 12-play, 50-yard drive leads to 3-0 Lions lead.

That looked bad from the snap. Everything about it was bad. Goff's second interception of the year. This is the Dolphins pressure I've been talking about
— Mike Payton (@AtoZ_Payton) November 8, 2026
Dolphins EDGE Josh Uche applied the pressure, working on Lions rookie OT Blake Miller.

pretty easily Derrick Moore's best game ... he's been revving it up last few weeks, could be a factor in the second half

Standards mean nothing if they don't apply to everyone. I don't understand some of the heat I see fans directing Dan Campbell's way.
