Miami Dolphins The Blitz Dolphins Talk

Mike Oliva of DolphinsTalk.com recaps the Tuesday Morning Headlines, community news, and more for your Miami Dolphins.

The Miami Dolphins traveled to New Orleans and beat the Saints on Monday Night Football 20-3. This win is their seventh victory in a row. The Dolphins were led by their defense as they sacked Saints Quarterback Ian Book eight times in the game, and early in the first quarter Nik Needham had an interception. He ran back for a touchdown to get the Dolphins on the board and out to an early 7-0 lead. The Dolphins offense later added another touchdown when Tua Tagovailoa hit Jaylen Waddle for a 1-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. This was the first win over the Saints since 2005 for the Dolphins, and their first win in the Superdome since 1986. Next week the Dolphins travel to Tennessee to take on the Titans.

With this win, the Miami Dolphins are now 43-43 all-time on Monday Night football. This was also their 86th appearance on Monday Night football which is more than any other team.

Miami Dolphins Wide Receiver Jaylen Waddle had 10+ receptions again on Monday night, the third time he’s done that this season. He’s the second rookie in NFL history to have three 10+ catch games, joining Odell Beckham Jr. (4). Waddle is the fourth overall Dolphins player in history with at least three 10+ catch games.

With eight sacks against the Saints on Monday Night Football, it gives the Dolphins back-to-back games with 5+ sacks in the game and three straight games with 3+ sacks.

Miami Dolphins Head Coach Brian Flores was asked about the current seven game winning streak and said, “I think it’s really just one in a row and that’s really all we’re trying to do. That’s kind of the approach and I think our guys have kind of taken to that approach and the preparation, how important the preparation is, the preparation that’s needed to get results in this league. There’s a lot that goes into that. There’s a lot of work, a lot of working together. I think George (Godsey), Eric (Studesville), Danny (Crossman), Josh (Boyer) – our coaching staff is doing a nice job of putting together game plans and giving our guys a chance to have success. Now the focus is to try to do it one more time.”
