Early in the first quarter, quarterback Trevor Siemian threw an interception -- his 11th of the season.

There is a reason these teams have lost 7 & 5 games in a row. #4Broncos

Then a snap by center Matt Paradis went over Siemian's head in the end zone and Siemian threw it out of bounds.

Forgot about the "snap it over the QB's head Safety" play. Oldie but goodie in the Broncos arsenal. #4Broncos

The Dolphins got the safety and the quarter ended 2-0.

About a 1:30 into the second quarter, Brandon McManus scored a 31 yard field goal, making the score 3-2.

The Dolphins came back with a touchdown and then intercepted another pass from Siemian on the very next play.

Unbelievable. Siemian on first play after Dolphins TD throws pick 6. Good grief. Dolphins now 16-3. #4Broncos.

That's two interceptions for Trevor today. Broncos offense has given up 9 points today. #4Broncos
