The Miami Dolphins secured their first win of November in Week 10, marking their second road victory since the start of the season. Head coach Mike McDaniel was visibly enthusiastic during the post-game press conference and took the opportunity to clarify a few things.
According to McDaniel, the Dolphinsā 23-15 win showcased one of their best collective performances this season, something he sees as crucial for the teamās recovery. āI thought collectively it was the best execution of what weāre trying to get doneā¦ I thinkās that something we can build upon moving forward.ā
He emphasized that this victory should be a turning point, adding that the players felt more confident with several key teammates returning from injuries. āI think the guys felt a lot of confidence in terms of where they were building and then getting a couple guys back, key guys,ā McDaniel said.
Beyond the head coachās comments, veteran defensive lineman Calais Campbell also sent a clear message to his teammates, urging them to capitalize on the momentum from the win. āFootballās a game of momentumā¦ this is the kind of game that you can use to spark a run,ā Campbell stated. The Dolphins now hold a 3-6 record.
Robert Griffin IIIās Reaction to the Dolphins
Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III weighed in on the Dolphinsā situation, noting that the team performs much better with Tua Tagovailoa at the helm. āMiami isnāt your normal 3-6 team. With Tua back, they have better energy and confidence on both sides of the ball. They arenāt out of the playoff hunt, and itās gonna be a wild last half of the season,ā RGIII commented.
