MIAMI, Fla. — The Detroit Lions won a grinding road game in Miami, Fla., on Sunday, Nov. 8, beating the Miami Dolphins 19-9 without allowing a touchdown. The result stretched the Lions winning streak to four games and lifted Detroit to 6-2.
The game was dedicated to injured linebacker Jack Campbell, and players arrived at the stadium wearing his No. 46 jersey. The defense played like it, limiting Miami to 228 total yards and just 77 on the ground at 3.7 yards per carry. Quarterback Malik Willis threw for only 128 yards.
Derrick Moore had two of the three Detroit sacks, and Chuck Clark picked off Willis on third-and-11 to set up a field goal. It was the fourth game in a row with an interception for the Lions defense.
Points were hard to come by for the offense, which finished with 270 yards and converted only 3 of 12 third downs. Kicker Jake Bates made all four of his field goal tries, including a 43-yarder with 4:28 left, and accounted for 13 points. Jahmyr Gibbs ran 8 yards for the only touchdown on a fourth-and-1, his 11th score of the season.
Miami closed within three points more than once, but a late fourth-down stop and a quarterback sneak by Jared Goff let Detroit run out the clock.
