Four days after quarterback Tua Tagovailoa<\/a> threw four touchdown passes in a 34-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons<\/a>, the Miami Dolphins couldn\u2019t find the end zone during a 28-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Not that they didn\u2019t get close to it.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins had four possessions that penetrated the Baltimore 25-yard line and had one field goal show for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think for us offensively just started with the little things,\u201d Tagovailoa said<\/a> of the change in games for the Dolphins. \u201cWe\u2019re off a little bit here on this play, we\u2019re off a little bit there on that play, and we just couldn\u2019t find our flow in that. And then when we did find our flow, we had some penalties, we had some issues going on with that. So I would say first off that all starts with me and got to continue to get our guys better in that aspect. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut this isn\u2019t a game where we\u2019re discouraged. It\u2019s one of those games where you wish you could have done more or whatever you could to help the guys go out there and execute the way we wanted to execute offensively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miami\u2019s self-destruction started on the Dolphins\u2019 second possession. With Miami leading 3-0, wide receiver Tahj Washington fumbled away his first NFL reception at the Dolphins 7-yard line to set up the Ravens\u2019 first touchdown.<\/p>\n

Riley Patterson missed a 35-yard field goal on Miami\u2019s next possession. The Dolphins tried the field goal after right tackle Larry Borom\u2019s false-start penalty on fourth-and-1 snap at the Baltimore 12.<\/p>\n

Trailing 14-3 the next time it got the football, Miami lost a 36-yard connection from Tagovailoa to wide receiver Jaylen Waddle <\/a>to the Ravens 7 because of a tripping penalty against running back Ollie Gordon.<\/p>\n

A 35-yard punt return by Malik Washington gave Miami an opportunity to get back in the game. But the Dolphins moved 4 yards in three snaps and settled for a 43-yard field goal by Patterson with 7:57 remaining in the first half.<\/p>\n

Another touchdown opportunity on Miami\u2019s next possession went by the boards when a fourth-and-2 pass from the Baltimore 13 fell near nobody in the end zone.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins had six points to show for 225 first-half yards \u2013 116 more yards than the Ravens had.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say it\u2019s frustrating offensively, and all the guys felt that same way,\u201d Tagovailoa said<\/a>. \u201cFrustrating because we knew we were a little off here, we were a little off there and we had some mistakes, we had some penalties — some crucial ones at that — and we just weren\u2019t able to capitalize. And so we felt we were moving the ball pretty well in the first half. We just weren\u2019t showing anything for it, really.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the first half ended with a sack of Tagovailoa on a Hail Mary opportunity, the Dolphins drove from their 8 to the Ravens 14 for their best second-half scoring chance before Malik Washington lost a fumble at the Baltimore 10-yard line.<\/p>\n

Miami\u2019s final possession ended when rookie safety Malaki Starks intercepted a deep pass by Tagovailoa at the Baltimore 15.<\/p>\n

The former Alabama<\/a> All-American completed 25-of-40 passes for 261 yards with no touchdowns and one interception on Thursday night. <\/p>\n

Now 2-7, Miami plays the Buffalo Bills at noon Nov. 9 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a pretty heartfelt conversation in there after the game,\u201d Tagovailoa said<\/a>. \u201cAnd, yeah, after that conversation, I feel like guys are going to go away, they\u2019re going to do what they need to do, but when we come back on Monday, we\u2019re ready to work.\u201d<\/p>\n
