Malik Willis set a single-game record for Dolphins in Week 5 loss

Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis hasn’t looked like a great passer through the first five weeks of his tenure in South Florida, as he’s completed 56.2% of his passes for 849 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions while leading the team to an 0-5 record.

On Sunday, Willis completed 55.6% of his passes for 137 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. He also earned his lowest passer rating in his time with the Dolphins at 51.0.

While Willis’ arm has been a problem, his legs have been a positive, and against the Bengals, he ran so well that he set a franchise single-game record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 74.

Ryan Fitzpatrick previously held this record, as he ran for 65 yards in a 22-21 loss to the New York Jets in Week 14 of the 2019 season. Before that, Chad Henne rushed for 59 yards against the New England Patriots in a 38-24 loss in the 2011 season opener.
