Dolphins fans have pinned the 24-19 loss on the refs and now just want Vrabel's squint off their screens.

What happened

Miami got the early gift, J.Brents pouncing on an E.Chism fumble at the NE 19, then spent the afternoon handing things back: A.Borregales pushed a 40-yarder wide right, a Q3 incompletion got overturned on challenge, and D.Maye hit D.Douglas for 48 yards to bury it. M.Willis finding K.Coleman with 2:10 left merely made it respectable. Fans can rage at the refs and Vrabel's squinting all week, but five points is exactly a missed kick and a touchdown.
