Dolphins Lose 15-10 to Vikings Amid Penalties

The winless Miami Dolphins fell to 0-4 after a 15-10 loss to Minnesota, with penalties and other costly mistakes undermining their chances. Nine Miami penalties included an illegal-touching call that erased a long Malik Willis-to-Chris Bell touchdown, while holding calls stalled drives; the team also had a touchdown wiped out by a penalty in the previous game. The offense has struggled overall, averaging an NFL-low 11.5 points per game through the season’s first quarter, though its run blocking and a four-sack performance against Minnesota offered some bright spots as the rebuilding team looks to improve.
