14-of-21 passing, 228 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 0 interceptions, 0 fumbles, 37 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, QB rating of 130.7! So what caused the change? A good night's sleep? Yes and yes. But also, maybe better decision-making and resource utilization.

Positive signalProjection

Willis posts 130.7 rating with improved decision-making; first game providing legitimate optimism.

Dolphins QB showed tangible growth post-bye week with a strong performance: 14-of-21 passing (67% completion), 228 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 0 interceptions, 0 fumbles, 37 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, and a 130.7 QB rating. The source attributes the improvement to better decision-making and resource utilization—shifting from deep shots to short passes that kept the offense on schedule, involving tight ends more frequently, and benefiting from Caleb Douglas' return. After opening the season with just 2 TD passes against 7 turnovers, this performance provided the first legitimate reason for optimism, though Willis still has more questions than answers.
