(LETS GO DOLPHINS) A few final thoughts on Sundays game and the Dolphins progress this season: - The Dolphins had 28 first downs on Sunday. The Chargers had 10. The Chargers were 3-11 on third downs, and two of those conversions came on their first possession of the game. - Coming into the game, the Chargers had a league leading 5 giveaways all season. Sunday, the Dolphins took the ball away from them 4 times in a single game. Dolphins are +9 in the turnover margin for the last 3 games. - Miami out-gained the Chargers 441-178 and scored on six of their first seven drives (and would have been 7 for 7 but for a missed field goal). - Ryan Tannehills passer rating on the day was 125. He has a 109.1 rating over his past three games. Phillip Rivers - who came into the game with a third best in the league passer rating of 109.9 - had a passer rating of 31 on Sunday. The Dolphins also broke Rivers current streak of 28 straight games with a passing touchdown. - Dolphins have now won their last five games by a combined margin of 85 points - 153-68. - They have forced 14 turnovers in the past 5 games. - The 37-0 victory was the Dolphins largest margin of victory since Dan Marino was still at the helm. It was their first shutout in eight years. - The Dolphins are on track for their highest scoring season since 1985. - Ryan Tannehill leads the league in yards per carry (7.9) and in 4th in total running yards (245). - Cameron Wake is not human. Halfway through the season, he has 6.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and uncountable hurries. - Simply put, rookie receiver Jarvis Landry is a baller. That tightrope TD was poetry in motion. - Rashad Jones is a tackling machine. - Brent Grimes is a match-up nightmare, no matter how tall, strong or fast his opponents are. - Coach Joe Philbins 93 year old father passed last week. We all knew what was going on with Coach. We knew how close he was with his dad. We just wanted to put together a good game for our coach. We came out here and played for him and it showed on the field. We’re just thankful that we could do something like that for Coach. - Brent Grimes. - You look for a shutout every game and it’s kind of like the white rhino, or the white elephant. You’ve got to find it, and we found it today. It took a lot. It took a lot. A lot of focus, a lot of energy and a lot of emotion, and we’ve got to do that every game. - Jared Odrick. But for the last play of the Packers game, the Dolphins would be on a 5 game winning streak. 3 of those on the road.
