Dolphins escape Foxboro with a win – The Splash Zone 10/7/24

Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

You read that right folks, the Miami Dolphins recorded a win yesterday when they defeated the New England Patriots.

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