Dolphins are in the hunt for first division title since 2008

Associated Press  

MIAMI — The Miami Dolphins’ relentless defense keeps coming, and even the Buffalo Bills are feeling the heat. The dramatic turnaround under second-year coach Brian Flores has Miami in contention for its first division title since 2008. “We’ve got to keep executing and winning games and doing what we’re doing.” WHAT’S WORKING A 29-21 win Sunday over the Los Angeles Chargers followed a formula that is becoming familiar. Xavien Howard made his fifth interception of the season on a harried throw, and he and Byron Jones helped limit the Chargers’ two best wideouts to 77 yards on 12 targets. We just felt this was in best interest for both parties.” With two other rushers injured, undrafted rookie Salvon Ahmed made his first career start and carried 21 times for 85 yards and a score.
