A six-pack of Dolphins notes on a Tuesday:
•
For a team that allowed a league-worst 4.8 http://www.authenticcowboysstore.com/shop-by-players-andrew-gachkar-jersey-c-2_62.html yards per carry last season, this was encouraging, even with the extremely small sample size:Miami emerged from Sunday
’s 19-17 win against the Chargers allowing just 3.1 yards per carry, 7th best in the league.What
’s more, after relinquishing 140 yards per game on the ground last season, Miami allowed just 44 on Sunday.And there
’s this: The Chargers’ 44 rushing yards were the fewest allowed by the Dolphins since Sept. 30, 2012, when Arizona mustered only 28.“
I thought we had very few missed tackles,” Adam Gase said. “The entire defense did a good job playing off each other. We had one that kind of got us for a longer run. For the most part, everybody was in the right gaps, playing fast, a lot of gang tackling. A lot of guys were around the ball, collapsing everything. Really good to see.”Chargers coach Anthony Lynn stopped running

“
What I saw early was Suh dominating up front, and I got away from that,” Lynn said of the running game.•
Cody Parkey’s 54-yard field goal was the longest game-winning field goal in Dolphins history, according to the team.
