Eight penalties for 61 yards, sacks, missed opportunities and costly mistakes repeatedly knocked Miami off schedule. Wes Goldberg breaks down the biggest takeaways from Week 1, including why the Raiders played the exact kind of physical, disciplined game Miami wanted to establish under Jeff Hafley. Ashton Jeanty carried 23 times for 102 yards while De’Von Achane managed only 36 yards on 11 attempts. If the Dolphins want a new identity, there’s plenty to fix.
