The Miami Dolphins improved to 5-7 in Week 13 while keeping their weak playoff hopes alive. They did so on the shoulders of their defense, including safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and cornerback Rasul Douglas.
Douglas returned to the field after missing the previous two games and getting more rest during the bye week. His return was marked by a crucial interception off New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough that sapped some of the Saints' momentum.
Late in the game, Fitzpatrick made a critical 2-point interception return that kept the Saints from tying the game. After the match concluded, Fitzpatrick had some bad news for Douglas.
