Dolphins rookie furious after taking questionable penalty against Ravens

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II exploded on the sideline after being called for a penalty in a crucial moment against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed a 36-yard pass to Jaylen Waddle that would have brought the team closer to the end zone if it had stuck. Gordon was flagged for tripping a defender who was pressuring Tagovailoa during the play.

Gordon, however, was seen slipping when the Ravens defender crossed the line of scrimmage. He didn’t seem to touch the defender at all.

The rookie came off the field hot when the penalty nullified the great play. He had a brief argument with associate head coach and running backs coach Eric Studesville before he was seen yelling and screaming on the sideline. He had to be calmed down by some of his companions.

NFL STAR Jokingly claims his white teammate is being racially profiled by referees amid series of sanctions.

The Dolphins selected Gordon in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma State. He has 110 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown in the first eight games of his career. He also has five receptions for 27 yards and a receiving touchdown.

Baltimore held a 14-6 lead midway through the second quarter. Lamar Jackson, in his first game back from an injury, looked as smart as ever as he threw two touchdown passes to Mark Andrews.

Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson scored two field goals.
