"The Dolphins are on somewhat of a roll. Sunday's 16-13 overtime victory against Washington in Madrid, Spain, gives the Dolphins wins back-to-back wins for the first time all season. The Dolphins (4-7) get to enjoy their bye this week while riding high off of a sometimes alarming victory over Washington (3-8). Don't overlook the significance of the win over the Commanders. For the first time all season, the Dolphins have hope because they're showing signs that they can play a complete game."
"It's been a turbulent season among poor performances; wide receiver Tyreek Hill sustained a season-ending knee injury, ex-general manager Chris Grier was fired, edge rusher Jaelan Phillips was traded to Philadelphia and much more. But none of that matters now. The Dolphins are on a roll, and they're seeing a chance of clawing their way back to .500 in a few weeks. And it's all because it seems as though they're finally fulfilling their potential."
"The big letdown was Ollie Gordon II (45 yards on nine carries) being thrown for a 2-yard loss on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line with 1:44 remaining and the game tied at 13. Otherwise, things were pretty good. De'Von Achane rushed for 120 yards on 21 carries to lead a run game that totaled 169 yards on 31 carries. Guard/sixth tight end Daniel Brunskill played a role for the third consecutive game."
The Dolphins won 16-13 in overtime against Washington in Madrid, earning back-to-back victories for the first time this season.
