The Miami Dolphins snapped a three-game losing streak on Monday night when they traveled to California to defeat the Los Angeles Rams by a score of 23-15 under the bright lights of primetime football.
One of the more impressive performances by the Dolphins defense led the team to victory on Monday Night Football as Anthony Weaver’s unit did not allow for a single touchdown against a high powered Rams offensive attack featuring stud wide receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp.
Of all the defenders that had an impact on Monday’s victory, one longtime veteran made his presence felt consistently throughout the night en route to a dominating defensive showing.
Miami Dolphins Week Ten MVP – Calais Campbell
The 2024 NFL season marks the 17th professional campaign for Calais Campbell. A 2008 second-round draft pick of the Arizona Cardinals, Campbell was selected in the same draft that the Miami Dolphins took offensive tackle Jake Long with the number one overall pick.
Let that sink in for a moment…
The longevity of Calais Campbell’s career should be studied and dissected by sports scientists for years to come. Even though the defensive lineman is now 38 years old, you wouldn’t be able to discern that by watching him play.
Campbell has been a consistent force for a depleted Dolphins defensive line all season long. On Monday night, Campbell played 44 defensive snaps, had a sack of quarterback Matthew Stafford and two passes defensed — one which led to an interception by Dolphins linebacker, Anthony Walker.
Somehow, Campbell has found the fountain of youth somewhere in South Florida, and the Miami Dolphins are the team reaping the benefits. Let’s hope his inspired play can continue as the squad tries to scratch and claw its way into one of the final AFC Wildcard playoff spots this season.
