Tennessee Titans series history against Miami DolphinsTennessee Titans
This week’s contest marks the fourth all-time season opener for the Titans/Oilers against the Dolphins and the first such occasion since September 11th, 2004, when the game was played in South Florida a day early due to the approaching Hurricane Ivan. The Titans won that day by a final score of 17-7. ![]() Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (8) attempts a pass against the Miami Dolphins during the first half at Hard Rock Stadium on October 9th, 2016. (Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports) Seven of the last nine regular season meetings have been played at Hard Rock Stadium, beginning with the 2004 season opener. It took until eight years later, on November 11th, 2012, for the Titans to win again at Miami, when they forced four turnovers en route to a 37-3 victory. The score tied for the 12th largest margin of victory in Titans/Oilers history. The last time the Titans won at Miami was October 9th, 2016, when Marcus Mariota passed for three touchdowns and added a rushing score in a 30-17 win. The Dolphins avenged the 2016 finish a year later on October 8th, 2017. Jay Cutler completed a touchdown pass to Jarvis Landry late in the fourth quarter to help the Dolphins triumph 16-10. The last meeting at Nissan Stadium occurred on October 18th, 2015, when the Dolphins pulled away for a 38-10 win. The Dolphins forced four turnovers and produced six sacks on defense in the contest, while on the other side of the ball they generated 434 total yards, including 180 rushing yards. The Dolphins began play in 1966 as the American Football League’s first expansion franchise. Playing the Dolphins twice a year from 1966-69, the Oilers won five of eight games before 1970, when the Oilers moved to the newly-formed AFC Central Division and the Dolphins began play in the AFC East. The teams have met in the postseason just once. In 1978, the Oilers defeated the Dolphins 17-9 at the Orange Bowl for Houston’s first playoff win since 1961. The Oilers continued their postseason play on the road, winning at New England before falling to Pittsburgh in the AFC Championship Game. Earlier in the 1978 season, the Oilers and the Dolphins were featured in a memorable Monday Night game, a 35-30 Oilers win that included four rushing touchdowns by Earl Campbell.
