The Miami Dolphins went into halftime with a 10-3 lead over the New Orleans Saints in their Week 16 matchup at Caesars Superdome.
Brian Flores’ team scored on a Nik Needham pick-six on Ian Book’s second pass attempt of the game but were kept out of the end zone for the remainder of the first half. The only other points they got were from a Jason Sanders field goal.
With the Saints missing so many players due to COVID-19, many believe Miami should have gone into halftime with a larger lead, among those is Dolphins legend Larry Csonka who took his feelings to social media.
Glad we’re ahead at the half but with the number of #Saints players out with Covid this shouldn’t be a close game #MIAvNO #MNF #FinsUp

The leading rusher in the history of the franchise isn’t wrong. Miami’s offense hasn’t been able to overcome the offensive line’s ineptitude, as they allowed three sacks and had three holding penalties called on them. They’ll need to improve in the second half f they want to prove anything.
