Dolphins show they can win even without Tagovailoa and Hill going deep

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — After Miami’s defense gave up 234 yards rushing against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1, coordinator Vic Fangio said his unit was good enough to win a high-scoring contest, but “not good enough to win a lot of games.” The Dolphins turned it around in Week 2 at New England, limiting the Patriots to 88 yards rushing and stopping them on a late drive that could have tied or won the game. “When you give up 34 points it’s a terrible feeling,” linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel said after Sunday night’s 24-17 win. Miami ran the ball 30 times for 145 yards and had 30 pass attempts for 249 yards, an approach that coach Mike McDaniel said was dictated by the Patriots’ defensive adjustments. INJURIES Waddle is in the concussion protocol following a helmet-to-helmet hit from New England’s Marte Mapu.. LT Terron Armstead missed his second straight game as he continues dealing with ankle, back and knee issues.
