Riley Patterson converted all four of his field goal attempts, De’Von Achane ran for 134 yards and a touchdown to surpass 1,000 rushing yards on the season, and Minkah Fitzpatrick’s interception on a two-point conversion attempt with 1:17 remaining sealed a 21–17 Miami win over New Orleans at Hard Rock Stadium on November 30, 2025. Tyler Shough threw for 239 yards and two touchdowns — including a 15-yard strike to Devaughn Vele that pulled the Saints within two late in the fourth quarter — but a fourth-and-1 stop at the Dolphins’ 36-yard line ended New Orleans’ final drive and gave Miami its third consecutive victory.

†Fitzpatrick’s interception came on Shough’s two-point conversion attempt following the Saints’ final touchdown. Under NFL scoring rules it counts as a defensive two-point return for Miami rather than a standard passing interception in the box score.

Achane’s 22-carry afternoon moved him past 1,000 rushing yards for the 2025 season — the first time he reached that total in three NFL years and just the fourth player league-wide to get there that season. Tagovailoa’s interception was his 14th of the year, the most thrown by any quarterback in the league at that point and equal to the career-high he set in 2023. Cameron Jordan’s two sacks against Tagovailoa pushed his career total to 127, moving him past Derrick Thomas on the NFL’s all-time list. Charlie Smyth, a 24-year-old International Pathway Player from Mayobridge, Northern Ireland making his NFL regular-season debut after replacing the released Blake Grupe, converted his first-ever NFL field goal attempt — a 56-yarder in the fourth quarter. Miami finished the day at 5–7; New Orleans dropped to 2–10, having lost six of their previous seven.
I'm Sean L. Garcia, a Swedish-born American journalist based in Washington with over six years of experience reporting across local publications and digital media. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and have spent the better part of my career covering the full spectrum of news, from breaking world affairs and domestic politics to sports analysis, consumer technology, automotive industry developments, the business of entertainment, celebrity culture, gaming, health, and the cultural moments that define how people actually live. I launched Daily Info Magazine on April 05, 2026, because I wanted to build one publication where readers never have to go elsewhere, a destination backed by real reporting, proper sourcing, and an editorial team that takes accuracy seriously across every beat we cover. I serve as Editor-in-Chief and continue to report, write, and publish alongside our team of writers, researchers, and editors every single day.
