The Miami Dolphins lost to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, 20-16. Additionally, some eagle-eyed fans from Pointsbet Sportsbook have spotted something that was rather unusual.
Given that the game was played in Miami, the humidity was naturally high. But in a picture posted by the Pointsbet Sportsbook Twitter account, it seems that both sidelines weren't the same temperature. In fact, the Vikings' sideline was far hotter.
In a posted picture, the Vikings' sideline was strangely almost 30 degrees warmer than Miami's sideline. It didn't take long for fans to respond to the picture, with one fan saying the home team needed any advantage they could get.
"It’s because the dolphins need an advantage anyway possible."
Other fans were quick to give their thoughts on the picture, with many saying its because the Dolphins sideline is in the shade, while the Vikings' wasn't.
Many fans believe that because of the shape of the stadium, the Dolphins' sidelines are in the shade, while the opposition's aren't. Is it an unfair advantage? Likely not, as the Vikings won 24-16.
Dolphins lose third consecutive game in a close affair
The heat difference didn't seem to bother the Minnesota Vikings as they rolled into Miami and took care of business. They now move to 5-1 on the season, while Miami sits at 3-3.
Skyler Thompson started the game for Miami, but was unable to finish due to a thumb injury sustained during the game. Teddy Bridgewater came in and nearly pulled off the victory.
Bridgewater completed 23 of his 34 passes for 329 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Tyreek Hill (12 rec, 177 yards) and Jaylen Waddle (6 rec, 129 yards) were the main targets for both Thompson and Bridgewater.
The Vikings' defense feasted, registering six sacks on the day and two interceptions.
Miami led every key stat except the one that mattered - the score. They had more total yards, more first downs and 11 more minutes of ball possession, but still lost.
They also ran 23 more plays. However, their 10 penalties to the Vikings' two played a big part in the result. Without Tua Tagovailoa, Miami has been a shadow of the team that beat the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills.
