Dolphins Secure First Win; Broncos Rout Bengals in Monday Night Football
Monday Night Football in Week 4 of the 2025 NFL season saw two games unfold, with the Miami Dolphins securing their first win of the season against the New York Jets, and the Denver Broncos comfortably defeating the Cincinnati Bengals.
In the Dolphins' victory, quarterback Bo Nix had a career night, throwing for 326 yards and two touchdowns, also rushing for a six-yard score. However, the game was marred by a gruesome knee injury to wide receiver Tyreek Hill. In his Dolphins debut, tight end Darren Waller scored two touchdowns and secured a crucial on-side kick late in the game to seal the win. The Dolphins' victory helped ease concerns about head coach Mike McDaniel's future, while Jets head coach Aaron Glenn continues his search for his first win of the season.
Meanwhile, in the other game, the Broncos' offense put up an impressive 512 yards in their 28-3 win over the Bengals. Jake Browning struggled as the Bengals' starting quarterback, throwing for only 125 yards. Browning had been named the backup to Joe Burrow, with Desmond Ridder also mentioned as a possible solid backup. The Bengals lost their second straight game since Burrow's injury, while the Broncos improved to 2-2 with the victory.
The Dolphins' win over the Jets and the Broncos' victory against the Bengals have set the stage for an exciting remainder of the season. The Dolphins' offense, despite Hill's injury, showed resilience, while the Broncos' offense put up an impressive performance. The Bengals, however, face challenges with Burrow's injury and will need to find solutions soon.
