(CBSMiami)- Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed had the best game of his young career on Sunday against the New England Patriots rushing for 122 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. His efforts helped lead the Dolphins to a 22-12 win that knocked the Patriots out of playoff contention and kept the Dolphins hopes of a postseason spot alive. But, perhaps more importantly for Ahmed personally, he delivered on a promise that he made to his grandmother, Dee Brown.
NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero reported Sunday that Ahmed had promised Brown, who is in the hospital, he would get 100 yards for her.
