Dolphins beat Rams late to extend win streak
They were shut out to that point in another solid performance by the Los Angeles Rams defense.
Check out The Palm Beach Post’s Miami Dolphins page on Facebook. I guess when we get into the 4th quarter and it’s a close game, I feel confident.
Gase, Tannehill and the Dolphins (6-4) have won five games in a row, with the latest victory the most improbable yet.
Alexander’s interception was the first official pick of the day, but the Rams had dropped two previously and dropped two afterward.
“Something I’d like to do better is just be a little more cleaner on my reads”, Goff said.
“We just need to stay out of our own way”.
It was a bitter defeat for a team that fell to 4-6. Tannehill and Co. finally capitalized with an eight-play, 62-yard drive capped off by Jarvis Landry’s 10-yard touchdown reception. Three of the team’s top defensive players let them down on the final two Miami drives.
The Los Angeles Rams lost to the Miami Dolphins 14-10, despite leading for a majority of the game.
Fisher might change his starters, but he said he won’t change his coaching staff this season. It’s nearly as if the conservatism that doomed the L.A. offense in this game started to rub off on the defense, too, as Miami held the ball for just 4:13 combined on its two scoring drives in the fourth quarter.
That’s unfair to a unit that’s playing remarkable football but is the victim of being asked to carry too much of the weight. “Then later we were winning, and I think we wanted to run the ball”.
The Dolphins closed out the game with 239 yards of total offense on 57 plays, out of which, 142 came through the air and 97 hard-fought yards on the ground. Goff recognized a blitz and rifled a dart to Britt.
ARLINGTON, Texas – Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes, two to Dez Bryant, in the first game with Tony Romo as his backup, and the Cowboys set a franchise season record with their ninth straight win.
“He hasn’t done anything to show me that he can’t do things in the fourth quarter”, Gase said. “Those guys did a great job of keeping us in the game and we found a way in the end”. The Dolphins crossed midfield on only one of their six first-half drives, and the Rams recorded a first-half shutout for the first time this season.
It didn’t last. Gurley’s nine carries in the second and third quarters produced a net gain of just 26 yards. While Goff definitely didn’t do anything astounding, it is a big positive Goff did not throw any interceptions or fumble the ball.
The Rams got Gurley’s first-quarter touchdown run and Greg Zuerlein’s 46-yard field goal in the third quarter, and that looked as though it would be enough.
Coming into this matchup, Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi averaged 5.6 yards per carry and was sixth in the National Football League in rushing with 725 yards. “We have to be mentally strong in crunch time”, said middle linebacker Alec Ogletree.
“We’re way on the other side of the country, but we still have you guys in our hearts”, Wake said to the fans as he was walking off the field.
After a solid drive, Miami drove down the field easily against a exhausted Los Angeles defense. The Chargers, who must decide by January 15, are weighing their options after voters in San Diego rejected a stadium ballot measure earlier this month.
NOTES: Fisher is still gathering information to make a decision about CB Troy Hill, who was inactive after getting arrested Saturday morning following a freeway crash. Miami’s center could return next week as Pouncey’s injury is not considered serious.
