Ollie Gordon rushed 19 times for 62 yards in the Dolphins’ Week 8 loss to the Patriots.

02 November 2026

Gordon continues to look like a powerful, capable interior runner, deserving of the Dolphins’ starting role. He, frustratingly, had a 15-yard run erased by a holding penalty and failed to catch his lone target. Gordon celebrated a bit too enthusiastically after a five-yard run on the Dolphins’ seventh drive and was flagged for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The young player was extremely upset about the call and required one-on-one conversations with coach Jeff Haffley, another unidentifiable coaching staff member and Malik Willis before regaining composure. Gordon will likely end up in the mid-to-high RB2 ranks against the Lions next week.
