MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- What a time for the Miami Dolphins rushing attack to come alive. Down their top three receivers and top running back due to injuries and COVID-19, the Dolphins rushed for a season-high 250 yards, averaging 6.0 yards per carry on their way to a 22-12 win against the New England Patriots in their final home game of the season.
The Dolphins (9-5), firmly in the thick of a tight AFC playoff race, toughed out an important win for their own destiny and officially eliminated the rival Patriots from the playoffs.
