The full breakdown

Miller finished with a 61.4 grade after positive offensive contributions were negated by a costly special teams error. He was dependable in the passing game (70 receiving grade), converting two critical third downs with crisp out routes at Q1 05:41 (3rd & 8) and Q3 06:38 (3rd & 5). However, his special teams mark sank to 53 after an illegal block above the waist at Q1 12:54 wiped out field position and pinned Miami at their own 9-yard line. Paired with quiet, routine run blocking across seven snaps, the penalty held his game grade near neutral.
