The Good, Bad & Ugly from the Miami Dolphins Week 13 win over the New Orleans Saints

The Good, Bad & Ugly from the Miami Dolphins Week 13 win over the New Orleans Saints

The Miami Dolphins survived some incredible late-game madness in week thirteen to outlast the New Orleans Saints by a score of 21-17 to win their third straight game — pulling their record to 5-7 after starting the season a woeful 1-5.

After taking a 16-0 lead at half, the Dolphins’ offense managed to put just three points on the scoreboard during the final two quarters of play, while the Saints — led by rookie quarterback Tyler Shough and 2024 7th-round wide receiver Devaughn Vele — put up 17 second-half points, and were a 2-point conversion away from tying the game...

Dolphins survive against the Saints – The Splash Zone 12/1/25

Dolphins survive against the Saints – The Splash Zone 12/1/25

The Miami Dolphins took on the New Orleans Saints yesterday and it was a bit too close for comfort. The Dolphins offense started out hot with some great play from the run game and then they decided they wanted to throw the ball. QB Tua Tagovailoa just didn’t have a good game and that is becoming a normal thing as of late. It was not pretty at all, but the win keeps the Dolphins slim hopes alive as they enter December.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.

Saints vs. Dolphins final score, immediate reactions as Miami holds on for tight win

The Miami Dolphins hosted the New Orleans Saints in Week 13, sneaking out with a win as the Saints tried to make a comeback at the end of the game. This game featured just about everything, including a defensive two-point conversion and a recovered onside kick.

The game was a back-and-forth affair, with Miami jumping out to an early lead, but allowing the Saints back into the game in the second half. The defenses of both teams were the story of the game, with big plays being made by both teams to try to keep the game close.

After dispatching both the Buffalo Bills and the Washington Commanders in the past two games, our Miami Dolphins hope to make it three in a row when the New Orleans Saints come to town this afternoon. Miami probably could not have hoped for a better draw this week than the woeful 2-9 Saints. New Orleans comes into this game fresh off another loss to the Atlanta Falcons, 24-10, this past weekend.

The Miami Dolphins host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, kicking off their Week 13 matchup at 1 p.m. Eastern. As both teams conduct their final preparations for the game, they have released their respective inactive players lists, dropping from the 53-man active roster used during the season to the 48-man limit enforced by the league during games.

The Saints had ruled out running back Alvin Kamara on Friday’s injury report with issues to his knee and ankle; he now headlines the inactive players list. Also inactive are defensive back Ugo Amadi, cornerback Rejzohn Wright, tackle Barry Wesley, tight end...

NFL Week 13 predictions, odds: Winners picks for all Sunday games

Week 13 does not have any NFL teams on a bye, which would normally mean the Sunday schedule features a full slate of games – but since this is Thanksgiving week, there have already been four games played. Add in the Monday Night Football game tomorrow, and that leaves just 11 games spread over the day.

The early afternoon slot, with seven games on the schedule, is headlined by the Houston Texans at the Indianapolis Colts, while the afternoon games feature a marquee matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Sunday night game has the Denver Broncos...

The Miami Dolphins come off their bye week to host the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. The Dolphins are just 4-7 on the season, but two of those wins came in their last two games, keeping their minuscule playoff hopes alive. A third-straight victory could continue to improve those hopes.

The Saints enter the weekend 2-9, struggling their way toward the end of the year. They are currently in position to have the third-overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and may just be trying to get through the rest of the season, figure out what they have in...

Dolphins adding offensive line help in late Week 13 roster move

Dolphins adding offensive line help in late Week 13 roster move

The Miami Dolphins are starting to get healthy, both with the players on the active roster and some players coming back from injured reserve. On Saturday, news broke that the team was adding tight end Darren Waller to the active roster from injured reserve, bringing him back from a pectoral injury that cost him four games. Later on Saturday, the team made that move official, but was not the only move the team made.

Miami is bringing back offensive tackle Austin Jackson, who was injured in Week 1 and has been sidelined ever since due to a toe injury. Jackson...

Miami Dolphins Week 13 fan confidence: Bye week leads to drop

Last week was the Miami Dolphins’ one off weekend during the NFL’s 18 week regular season schedule. The team headed into their bye week with two straight wins and looking more like a competitive NFL franchise than they have at any point in the year. Sitting at just 4-7, Miami has had a rough season, but somehow could still make a late-season surge toward the playoffs.

It has been a strange year, with multiple losses that should have been wins, self-inflicted penalties and turnovers, an in-season general manager change, a trade of a major defensive starter, banners flying over the...

Dolphins adding Darren Waller to active roster before Saints game

The Miami Dolphins are expected to make a roster move on Saturday, bringing back a key member of their offense after a stint on injured reserve. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Miami will activate tight end Darren Waller from injured reserve, making him eligible for the team’s Week 13 game against the New Orleans Saints. Waller missed the last four games with a pectoral injury.

The Dolphins designated Waller for return from IR on Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window. He did not, however, need those 21 days as he will now be brought back to the active roster...
