Previously winless in the preseason, the Dolphins built a 24-0 lead and kept Atlanta off the board until Falcons rookie running back Malik Williams' 8-yard score in the second quarter.
Howell followed rookie running back Kalen Ballage in reaching paydirt in the second quarter to stake the Dolphins to a 21-0 lead. Howell's TD catch and run each covered one yard.
Falcons quarterback Kurt Benkert was intercepted twice.
