Kenyan Drake called 'an example of mental toughness at its finest'

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler held up running back Kenyan Drake as "an example of mental toughness at its finest." Drake preferred to credit his teammates after he climbed from the goat in what was shaping up as a hard-luck loss to a key contributor in the Dolphins' 31-28 overtime victory against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

Osweiler handed off to Drake with Miami on the Chicago 1-yard line on the first overtime possession. When Akiem Hicks hit Drake in the backfield, the running back bounced off the Chicago defensive lineman, but with the football slipping away so that when he crossed the goal line, the former Alabama standout didn't have it anymore.
