Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to action Thursday night after missing two games with a hamstring injury, and his team's slim playoff chances depended on him returning to his MVP form against the Miami Dolphins.

The Miami Dolphins and the Baltimore Ravens have had a disastrous first half of the season, but the good news for the Ravens is Lamar Jackson is back.

The Atlanta Falcons failed to show up in Week 8, allowing the Miami Dolphins to secure just their second win of the season. It was supposed to be a game for the Falcons to get back on track at home, but instead they were blown out, 34-10, by the Dolphins in front of a frustrated Mercedes-Benz Stadium crowd.

The Browns defense ranks No. 1 in rushing average, No. 2 in first downs per game, No. 3 in total yards per game and rushing yards per game, and is No. 4 in total yards per play. The Dolphins defense is No. 30 in total yards per game, rushing average and first downs per game, No. 31 in total yards per play and No. 32 in rushing yards per game.

Here are the top highlights from Sunday's 27-24 win over the Miami Dolphins . . . Carolina responds with a huge drive of their own. An eight-play, 83-yard drive ends with a 4-yard touchdown pass from Young to rookie tight end Mitchell Evans. Panthers take the lead, 27-24, with 1:59 left.

The Atlanta Falcons will look to secure their fourth win of the season when they host the Miami Dolphins at home on Sunday afternoon. While the Dolphins are just 1-6, the Falcons won't have starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. under center. Penix has a bone bruise on his knee and is expected to miss today's game.

NFL fans witnessed a rare primetime doubleheader to close Week 4, with Jets-Dolphins and Bengals-Broncos taking center stage on Monday Night Football.

And the answer turned out to be veteran free agent pick-up Zach Wilson, with rookie seventh-round pick Quinn Ewers named the emergency third quarterback. This is how it was for the first six Dolphins games of the season before Ewers took over the No. 2 for the game against the Cleveland Browns last Sunday.
