Van Ginkel has three touchdowns in his NFL career, and he’s changed the route each time. He’s scored on a punt block recovery, a fumble recovery, and now the first pick-six of his career.
The Dolphins are now sixth in total defense and are allowing just 22.2 points per game.
3. Clean operation
The Dolphins’ three losses this season have shared a common theme. Each have occurred against some of the NFL’s best teams, and away from Hard Rock Stadium. In those games, Miami amassed 24 penalties for 213 yards and turned the ball over four times. With six giveaways in the last two games, both victories, it was fair to wonder if Miami could clean it up.
That question was answered in resounding fashion. Miami was penalized only two times for 15 yards and did not commit a turnover. We’ve seen how capable this Miami team is when the self-inflicted wounds aren’t hindering the NFL’s most exciting offense. They scored 38 points on nine possessions in this game.
It’s the second time this season Miami didn’t turn the ball over. They are averaging 57.5 points per game in which they don’t turn the ball over.
