They held a strong Eagles running game led by DeMarco Murray to a measly 83 total yards.

“In our whole rookie class we have rookie meetings all the time and we always talk about our class wanting to be guys that can help change just the mentality of this team and continue to help this team win games”, Ajayi said. “And that’s the game plan for all of us, to be sure”.
Offensively, the Dolphins weren’t impressive. They only scored two touchdowns.
In Miami’s first nine games, all but New England’s Tom Brady would fit into that category.
Still, the offense was good enough.
The Dolphins had a shaky special teams’ performance.
Vigil said he last blocked a punt during his sophomore year at Utah State, against Utah.
The Dolphins became the first team since the 1980 Seattle Seahawks to take three safeties in one game.
Because Sanchez is so susceptible to turning the ball over, he remains a QB2 in leagues of all formats with fringe QB1/QB2 upside.
It’s also that type of determination that gets coaches to say words like what Dolphins interim head coach Dan Campbell said during the postgame conference. You’ve got to prepare every week like you’re going to be in the game.
“Now, coming into the second half of the season, it’s time for us to start peaking”.
Last season, Sanchez saw extended time after then-starter Nick Foles went down with an injury around the same time. The Eagles had a 16-13 lead when Bradford got injured but ultimately lost the game by blowing several opportunities and suffering from costly turnovers. Suh also has four passes defensed.
Taylor, who ended with three tackles, had a crushing hit on Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews.
But even after he broke out for a couple of big runs, including a 24-yarder, the Dolphins barely gave him any second half carries. The most impressive part of the game was the end. Nonetheless, the pass very easily could have been broken up had Austin given an inkling of effort to make a play on the ball, which he didn’t.
Up: Celek reappears – Once a nonfactor in the passing game, tight end Brent Celek had a few key catches and went for more than 100 yards on the day.
Jones turned his left ankle while throwing incomplete early in the first quarter and Roethlisberger wearing a specially padded cleat to protect his bum foot entered to a roar of a capacity crowd. The Dolphins were able to sack Bradford four times, including Mclain’s devastating sack. The Eagles still control the NFC East, but things are going to get much tougher as Sam Bradford nurses an injury. “He was chasing plays down, chasing screens”.

When Sanchez came into the game in the third quarter, his teammates noticed the speed of the offense too. Stephen Morris is still on Philadelphia’s practice squad. Regardless of how he does it, he is getting in the end zone, getting significant yards, and most importantly he is helping his team win.
