Trailing 10-9 in the fourth quarter, Miami quarterback Tyler Huntley and the Dolphins' relentless rushing attack orchestrated a 15 play, 80-yard touchdown drive that cemented a 15-10 road win over the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon. Miami is now 4-1 against New England under Head Coach Mike McDaniel. This is also the Dolphins' eighth win in their last 10 meetings with the Patriots – the first time Miami has accomplished such a feat since 1991-96. We go Inside the Numbers, presented by BDO, to take a look at the most notable team stats, individual metrics, milestones and more from Miami's Week 5 win. Backs Run Wild The Dolphins rushed for 193 yards on 41 carries (4.7 avg.) in Foxborough, their highest single-game rushing total since Week 5 of the 2023 season. It marked the second game with 40-plus carries under McDaniel, after Miami totaled 43 carries for 350 yards against the Broncos in 2023. Running back Jaylen Wright led the team with 13 carries for a career-high 86 yards (6.6 avg.). His 86 rushing yards are the second-most by a rookie running back this season, as Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. tallied 129 yards during the late-afternoon slate of Week 5. After being sidelined since the season opener, running back Raheem Mostert had a strong performance in his return, rushing the ball 19 times for 80 yards (4.2 avg.). This was the first game since Week 3 of the 2023 season against Denver in which Miami had two 80-plus yard rushers. Fullback Alec Ingold scored his sixth-career touchdown on a three-yard run in the fourth quarter, which gave Miami the game-clinching advantage. Successful Day For Sanders Kicker Jason Sanders made field goals of 54, 32 and 47 yards. This was the 20th time in his career that he made at least three field goals in a game. It's also the most he's tallied in a game since he knocked five kicks through the uprights in Week 16 of the 2023 season against the Dallas Cowboys. Sanders' 54-yard field goal was just three yards short of his career long. He's connected on three field goals of 50-plus yards so far this season. The most from this distance that he's made in a season was eight during the 2020 campaign. Sanders, who appeared in his 104th consecutive game on Sunday, now ranks tied for 10th in franchise history in most consecutive games played. Notable Defenders Miami tallied its two sacks on the Patriots' first offensive drive of the game. First, linebacker Emmanuel Ogbah notched his first sack of the season with a takedown of quarterback Jacoby Brissett. On the ensuing third down, defensive tackle Zach Sieler recorded his second sack of the year, forcing the Patriots to punt. Miami allowed 299 total yards and just 160 passing yards against the Patriots. This season, Defensive Coordinator Anthony Weaver has led a defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest passing yards per game (159.6) and the sixth-fewest total yards per game (285.4). The Dolphins have allowed opponents to convert just 25.5% of their third-down attempts, which is the lowest allowed conversion rate in the league. New England converted just four of its 13 third-down attempts (31%) on Sunday. Safety Marcus Maye led Miami with nine tackles (five solo), which was his most in a game since Week 13 of 2022 with New Orleans. This was Maye's first start with the Dolphins. Linebacker Jordyn Brooks continued his string of productive play, finishing second on the team with seven tackles. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey tallied five tackles and deflected two passes, while safety Jevón Holland and cornerback Kader Kohou each posted five tackles and a pass defensed. Waddle Enters Elite Company Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who appeared in his 52nd career game, finished the day with four receptions for 46 yards, giving him 3,643 receiving yards in his career. He is the second Dolphins wide receiver since at least 1970 to surpass 3,600 receiving yards in the first 52 games of his career, joining Mark Duper (3,670). Tyreek Hill led Miami with six receptions for a game-high 69 yards. Tight end Jonnu Smith tallied five receptions for a season-high 62 yards, the most he's had since Week 9 of the 2023 season. His 62 yards were the most by a Dolphins tight end since Mike Gesicki recorded 69 against the Minnesota Vikings in 2022. Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. made his Dolphins debut and was targeted twice. Individual/Team Stats and Milestones In his second start with the Dolphins, Huntley completed 18-of-31 passes for a season-high 194 passing yards and an interception. He also picked up seven yards on three carries with his legs. His 21-yard fourth quarter pass to Hill helped ignite Miami's game-winning drive. Wide receiver Braxton Berrios returned a kickoff for 19 yards in the second quarter. This was Berrios' third-consecutive week with a 15-plus yard return, having recorded punt returns of 44 yards at Seattle in Week 3 and 27 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 4. Several Dolphins achieved games played and started milestones. Offensive tackle Terron Armstead made his 120th career start, tight end Durham Smythe appeared in his 100th career game, punter Jake Bailey appeared in the 80th game of his career, Holland appeared in his 50th career game and linebacker Tyus Bowser made his debut with Miami.

Women are slowly challenging the markets and roles that were previously considered male-dominated. This is happening in many sectors, including the financial one. For example, many women have taken binary trading as a hobby. Even though it may seem like a high-risk activity, it can be a very pleasant and easily manageable pastime for women who wish to learn more about managing their money and possibly even make some extra cash.  How to Get Started? First, sign up with a reliable broker  that offers binary options trading. Many brokers provide user-friendly platforms that make it easy to jump in. Make sure to choose a platform that offers educational resources and a demo account, so you can practice before investing real money. Next, explore the simple and efficient binary trading course  for self-growth and to help you build a foundation for success. These courses can give you the knowledge you need to get started confidently, and can cover essential topics from selecting a broker to short-term scalping.  Why Have Women Embraced Trades? As many of us know, modern women have to balance work, family, and leisure. Moreover, most of them want to do something that will be interesting, mentally engaging, and useful in their spare time too. For this reason, binary options trading is becoming very popular among them.  Benefits of Trades as a Hobby Flexibility : Trading can take place any time of the day — at work, while having lunch, or at night. Skill development : It enhances the capacity to detect particular patterns and trends in the market. Minimal time commitment : You don't need to spend hours behind a computer — it allows for fast decisions and quick trades. How It Works In this process, traders attempt to predict whether the price of the asset will rise or fall in the time frame falling between one minute and a couple of hours. It means that those who are not big on market research and analysis should not be put off at all. Here’s how the process typically works: Choose an asset : Choose from the number of markets by selecting an asset type including stocks, commodities, or currencies. Set a time frame : Select how long the trade will run. Make your prediction : Decide if you think the asset’s price will rise or fall. Place the trade : Make your investment, and wait for the result. If your prediction is correct, you can get an instant profit. Key Elements of Binary Options Element Description Asset types Stocks, commodities, currencies, indices Time frames 60 seconds to several hours Outcome Profit or loss based on price movement prediction Entry barriers Low — no previous experience needed Main Tips Start Small One of the best aspects here is that you don’t need to invest large amounts of money upfront. Start with small trades until you get the hang of it. Use Demo Accounts Many brokers offer demo accounts where you can practice with virtual money before you invest your own funds. This is a great way to build confidence and hone your strategy. Learn Continuously The markets change constantly, so it’s essential to stay informed. Follow news on global markets, read blogs, and engage with communities to learn and improve. Know When to Relax Binary trading can be intense, especially when you’re still learning. Make sure to take breaks, relax , and clear your mind. A refreshed mindset can help you make better and calmer decisions. Common Mistakes to Avoid Binary options are a straightforward hobby, but they come with risks. Avoiding common mistakes can help you maximize your chances of success: Trading based on emotions Ignoring market trends or news Investing too much capital too quickly. Why It Is a Great Hobby for Women Unlike other interests, binary trading provides a unique chance to earn while you develop new skills and gain new knowledge. It also offers an opportunity to not just create a new type of job but also gain fresh insights into the financial markets. When used correctly, it is an empowering process — be it from a financial or intellectual perspective. Another perk here is that it can be done on any schedule. It will be a perfect hobby for anyone, be it a housewife, a working woman, or any person with many commitments. You will be able to put your trades and go do other things, all the while knowing that you can check on the results later on or whenever it suits you.  Advantage Description Flexibility Can be done at any time of day or night Financial education Learn about markets while trading Potential for profit Opportunity to make extra income Time efficiency Short-term trades require minimal time investment What Women Need to Succeed in the Field Patience : Understand that loss is a part of the process here, and that success and knowledge take time. Discipline : Stick to your plan and avoid making trades based on emotions or whims. Curiosity : Stay engaged with the markets, constantly learn, and refine your strategies.

It is a chance to change your life for the better. Given the appropriate equipment and attitude, women are capable of incorporating this as a passion into their lives successfully. By ML staff.

As hurricanes impact much of Florida, it's vital for Miami residents to stay prepared and aware of the resources available before, during, and after a storm. Miami Living has created this comprehensive guide to help you navigate every step of the process, from ensuring your home and family are ready to weather the storm to accessing emergency assistance and recovery aid. Whether you're seeking info on evacuation routes, applying for FEMA assistance, or finding mental health support, this guide provides the essential tools and tips to keep you safe and informed throughout hurricane events. Photo credit: NOAA/AP Safety First During the Hurricane: Preparing Your Home and Family Evacuation Orders : Always follow local authorities if mandatory evacuations are ordered. Evacuate as soon as possible if you’re in a flood zone or vulnerable area. Check evacuation routes: Florida’s Evacuation Zones Emergency Kit : Have a well-stocked emergency kit with food, water, medications, flashlights, batteries, first-aid supplies, and important documents (insurance policies, ID). Secure Your Home : Board up windows. Bring loose outdoor items like patio furniture indoors to prevent them from becoming dangerous projectiles. Turn off gas and electricity if recommended by local authorities. During the Storm Stay Indoors : Do not leave your shelter until authorities say it's safe. Even if it seems calm, the eye of the hurricane may pass over, and strong winds could resume. Stay Away from Windows : Seek shelter in an interior room, closet, or bathroom on the lowest floor. Monitor Alerts : Use a battery-powered radio or phone for updates from local authorities on storm progression and safety guidance. Flood Safety Avoid Floodwaters : Do not drive, walk, or swim through floodwaters. Just 12 inches (30 cm) of water can float most cars, and 6 inches (15 cm) can knock a person off their feet. Turn around, don’t drown The U.S. Department of Transportation is warning the public about the dangers of driving through floodwaters. According to the department, just 12 inches (30 cm) of water can cause most vehicles to float and possibly be swept away by fast-moving currents, a risk heightened as Hurricane Milton approaches Florida. Their key message is clear: "Turn around, don’t drown." The department also emphasizes that walking or swimming through floodwaters is highly dangerous and should be avoided.

Do you think Thailand is too crowded? It probably is because people flock in large numbers to the bustling streets of Bangkok and the gorgeous beaches of Phuket. While you should definitely visit these destinations on your upcoming Thailand holiday, know that there's more to Thailand than them.  Beyond Bangkok and Phuket lies a world of hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. If you are craving an adventure, you are in for a treat. Here are five off-the-beaten destinations that promise to delight and dazzle.  Isan  Isan is the largest region in Thailand, which hugs the border with Laos and Cambodia. If you have been to Thailand before, chances are you have tried Isan food without knowing it. This region has gifted the world with classic dishes, such as larb (ground meat salad) and som tum (green papaya salad).  If you dare to venture to this off-the-beaten-path region, you'll be rewarded with rice fields, Khmer temple ruins that rivalAngkor Wat, and national parks.  This region is not just known for its night markets and restaurants; it is also home to Thailand's first national park, Khao Yai. The national park is home to gibbons, elephants, and Asian black bears.   Reaching Isan is simple. From Bangkok, you can take a bus to Isan. Nakhonchai Air  is a popular choice among budget-conscious travelers, and it offers Gold Class and First Class buses so you can travel comfortably.  Koh Adang & Koh Tarutao Are you brave enough to let go of hotel comforts and camp on a secluded paradise island? If so, Koh Adang and Koh Tarutao are excellent destinations for your next Thai adventure. These two islands are among the 51 islands in the south Andaman Sea that form the Tarutao National Park. Being a national park, all these islands are kept in a pristine state and protected from all development.  Both islands are absolutely gorgeous, with stunning bays and wild interiors. Of the two, Koh Tarutao is wilder and perfect for adventurous exploration, such as hiking, mountain biking, and kayaking. Koh Adang, on the other hand, has crystal-clear waters and is great for snorkeling.   Please note that infrastructure is limited on both of these islands. You'll either have to camp or stay in a government-run bungalow, but once you come here, you may never want to leave.  Lampang  From Chiang Mai, ride the train around two hours southeast to reach Lampang. This is one of the oldest cities in Thailand, dating back to the 7th century, and it is not uncommon to find the locals getting around in horse-drawn carriages.  In this town, there are several places to explore, such as temples like Wat Phrathat Lampang Luang, one of the most revered Buddhist temples in the north of Thailand, and the old walking street of Talad Gao Road. The town is filled with open-air market stalls, and the traditional homes will take you back to the past.  To truly explore the Lampang province, you need to step outside. Head into the hills north of the city to explore shrines, stupas, and Lanna-style Wats.  Mae Hong Son  Mae Hong Son is a mountainous, remote province in northern Thailand, bordering Myanmar (Burma). It is a fascinating province of Lanna-style temples, hill tribe villages, hot springs, national parks, trekking, and rafting. The population is sparse, and you can interact with hill tribes such as the Hmong and Shan.  The capital, also called Mae Hong Son, is a gateway to the region's hills, which is overlooked by Wat Phrathat Doi Kongmu, built in the 19th century.  Most backpackers recommend ten days to truly explore and soak in the beautiful sights the province offers. While you are here, don't forget to visit Pai , which is a charming town surrounded by mountains, and Ban Rak Thai, which is home to a large Chinese community. If you enjoy camping, trekking, and hiking, visit Doi Inthanon National Park.  Trang  Besides Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Bangkok, and Phuket, there's another province waiting to be explored, and it is none other than Trang.   Trang is located on the southern side of the country, and it is known as a gateway to the islands, beaches, and limestone mountains of the province. Northeast of the city is Khao Pu–Khao Ya National Park., which is home to Tham Matcha Pla Won, a cave with a fish-filled pool. The Riang Thong Waterfall is nearby, and the Hat Chao Mai National Park is southwest of the city.  Fortunately, Trang is untouched by mass tourism. You can come here to relax and unwind without worrying about crowds.  Conclusion   So, there you have it! These off-the-beaten destinations offer a glimpse into the real Thailand, away from tourist traps and crowds. Whether you are seeking relaxation, adventure, or cultural immersion, these destinations are worth checking out. By ML staff. Image courtesy of OutreachX

Fabric is the most essential feature of a wedding outfit, as it sets the foundation and helps achieve the dress's overall effect. The fabrics you choose can depict the form and flow of any garment and influence comfort. Various materials can give the dresses different looks, but the fabric decides the dress's success or failure on your wedding day.  Wedding dress makers involved in wedding couture can assign dressing materials to do the job and cater to every bride model. Popular Wedding Dress Fabrics The material of the wedding dress is one of the essential factors; it defines the look and feel of the dress and thus affects the impression it creates. Satin Satin is a generally smooth and shining fabric type. It is often used as a luxury fabric, especially a structured one. It is also a good choice for formal and classic bridal dresses, giving them a feeling of luxury and timelessness. Lace Lace is known as a symbol of love. It is often a delicate material that adds softness and intricacy to bridal dresses. Lace is an overlay meant to display the wedding gown at its best, or used as an inlay to emphasize the details for a more sophisticated look. Chiffon Chiffon is a light and transparent fabric that hangs and sways nicely. Brides who prefer a boho or informal look will love chiffon, particularly for beach or outdoor weddings. Tulle Tulle is usually considered a typical material for wedding veils, but it can also give a full balance effect by being used in layers. Its lightness makes it perfect for brides who would rather have a fairy-tale or whimsical look. Organza Organza is also a light, transparent fabric but stiffer than chiffon. In bridal wear, its main feature is to add volume and give wedding gowns a dimensional look while keeping them light and almost intangible. Mikado "Mikado" is a smooth but heavy fabric woven so subtly that it shines. The textile provides a slightly new interpretation for modern brides in the market for a well-fitted dress. The fabric remains in perfect shape, making it an excellent choice for grand and minimalistic designs. Matching Fabrics to Your Wedding Season The season of your wedding has a meaningful impact on selecting the perfect fabric for your dress. Some fabrics are well-suited for sunlit days, while others give proper warmth and shape for colder seasons. By choosing the suitable fabric according to the month, you can be sure your big day will be comfortable and stylish. Which ones are the best for a particular season? Let's find out. Spring Weddings For spring weddings, the perfect fabric is light-textured chiffon or lace, which is breezy and comfortable. These fabrics provide comfort in warm weather and match the season's nature. Summer Weddings Summer brides should choose soft, light fabrics like chiffon and organza. These fabrics allow the bride to breathe and stay calm and comfortable throughout the day. Looser weaves also keep the bride from getting too hot in the sun's rays. Fall Weddings The preferred fabric for autumn weddings is heavier, but not stiff. Satin and Mikado materials are the most suitable as they keep you warm while giving you that classy look. Winter Weddings Heavy materials such as satin or mikado are preferable for winter weddings. These fabrics are warm and introduce drama and formality to the event. Choosing Fabrics Based on Your Style Your wedding dress should reflect your individuality and style. The fabric choice is also very much responsible for the look you desire. Satin is the classic bride's choice. Its smooth touch and royal quality make it perfect for traditional ball gowns and A-line dresses. Boho Brides Bohemian brides choose chiffon or lace because these materials highlight the lady's easygoing style. These materials signify a calm and natural vibe usually associated with outdoor or destination weddings. Glamorous Brides Choose mikado or satin fabrics to look glamorous and fabulous, like the movie stars on the red carpet. These fabrics provide support, and their fine quality provides the formal and close-fitting features you like. Deciding on the correct fabric for your wedding gown is as important as selecting the right type. The fabric will affect how you look and feel on your big day, so it is essential to consider the weather, convenience, and style. Whether you seek help sourcing the fabric from wedding dress makers or you want to choose from ready-made designs, being cautious of the fabric will guarantee that the dress you want will be what you get.

Miami Living brings you the full transcript from Mike McDaniel's press conference which happened earlier this month. So not a game this week, but can you give us an update on where things stand at safety? Was S Jordan Poyer shin something he should be able to come back from pretty quickly after the bye? And with S Jevón Holland's hand, will you guys talk about him maybe playing with a cast? Or is that just too difficult for a safety to do? "I feel good about where (Jordan) Poyer was at today, and I feel good about the time that we have until our next game so just positive on where Poyer is at. Not going to worry about timelines because I definitely don't have a timeline this week. And then with Jevón (Holland), it should be about week-to-week. So this week for the game, this coming Sunday, I can rule him out for that, but we'll see how it progresses. (laughter) A little ahead of schedule to kind of determine that, but it feels like it'll be a week-to-week thing so we'll see what that looks like in about a week." And the whole thing about playing in a cast as a safety when you have a broken hand, is that a good idea in your opinion? Not a good idea because of how it limits you? "I think it all depends on the player and what value – if it's just a ball production player, then I'm probably not playing somebody. If you offer much more than that, which is definitely what Jevón (Holland) offers, there's value in playing with a cast even if you're only a PBU player at the point of attack. He's so instrumental in the various ways that we utilize him that I think if that would come to juncture, I would support that if he would support it because it's all about guys feeling like they can do their jobs at a high level. Each player is independent, but open to that with a player of his skillset." At the risk of answering my own question, I know you said you weren't going to worry too much about QB Tua Tagovailoa because he's on injured reserve. Is there a plan for him this week? Is he out of concussion protocol? Will he do anything this week? "So the way that will look is there's some expert consultation that he has scheduled for this week and then we'll address – the final stages of protocol won't be achieved until we bring him back off IR and that first practice is had. So until then, we're just communicating, and everything has been so far, so good." RB De'Von Achane is in concussion protocol, I assume. Is that right? "Yeah, he is. But he's in high spirits today." And for the record, is QB Tyler Huntley going to be the starter or will there be a competition this week? "I think I feel as it stands right now, I feel very happy with the way 'Snoop' (Tyler Huntley) I thought went from managing the offense so to speak his first outing to – I thought he was executing the offense and that's to his credit. So I feel pretty good about how fast he's developed, and I would guess to forecast continuing that development process with the offense as the operation was better but not as good as it could be and you hope that with continuity, there's an improvement in that." Has there been anything brought to you, information that it would be dangerous to play QB Tua Tagovailoa when the window opens? Certainly, has to clear protocol, but all the experts you've talked to, has anyone said, "Hey, no. This is a guy that needs two, three, four months or whatever?" "There's been nothing negative thus far, no. Nothing negative thus far, but we're still in the process. We don't rush that process and we don't try to do anything that negatively impacts that. So I'll stay within the guidelines that I've built for myself." With the run game, is the 41 carries more significant or the 193 yards more significant? "Oh, chicken or egg. I would say I think the 41 attempts – it's hard to get 41 attempts. And to do that, there's inherent yardage, but that – to get 41 attempts, it's more down-in, down-out and has less to do with how many explosives you have which can kind of inflate numbers sometimes. I think it's the second time that I've been here that we've called 40 runs. I don't know, extra credit, gold star to anyone that knows the other game – No?" Denver? "Boom. Hal, on it. But I think that also takes a commitment when you run the ball, specifically in the second half, specifically with 12 minutes to go in the game. And this league, you have to run it when they know you're going to if you want success in big games, in tight games and November and December games – you have to. And when you run the ball 41 times, a good amount of those, they know that it's coming, and it takes all 11 to do that. Because the more that you have success, guys don't – it's a large number on the defense, too, and so corners and safeties typically get very involved, just like they did yesterday. There was a couple times on that final scoring drive that we were running the ball against a six-man front, or six men on the line of scrimmage zero and still getting production, and that doesn't exist if the receivers aren't doing what they need to do. Ultimately, I think our guys have really taken a step forward in understanding that some of the coverages on first and second down that are pass preventative, those will continue to occur unless you're able to take the time of possession and really wear the defensive front down. So I thought one of the best takeaways from the game was finding a way to win in spite of yourself. A lot of times, we tried to create opportunities to make it really hard to win that game. We overcame that and then we found our identity, I feel like, up front to where they had the connectivity of the preparation, the fundamentals and technique, the mindset, all of which that we kind of knew going into the game that if we're going to come out with a win, we weren't going to win in spite of our run game. It had to be a part of the solution, not the problem." Looking at the seven consecutive runs and how successful you were on that drive, was that the result of the fact that you were running so well? Or was that a concerted effort where at the start of that drive perhaps, you said, "OK, we're going to put this right on the run game. We're either going to win because of it or lose because of it?" "I think it was a culmination of – I try to call plays as best I can be connected to the team, the defense, the offense, where our strength is at the time, where our momentum is. It's easy for me to call a ton of runs in a row when the players on the field give me reason to. And how does that occur? Well, it's not just like success or failure. Run game in the National Football League is difficult just in general, but when you see continued evolution in execution during the course of the game, you can feel the momentum of, 'all right, we're a little short here on this combination block,' and 'Oh, the next time we get it we're not. The first time we run this run, maybe the back's course is a little off relative to the blocking. Oh here, it's right on.' I think some of the biggest runs in the game, there's three or four in particular, were like rugby scrum four-yard gains. When it's blocked for one yard and collective push and drive by the ball carrier and the blockers, you end up at second-and-6, that substantially influences how I call the game. Because my eyes, you're watching, you're calling the play. As it starts, you're getting ready for the next play call and the one's that really always influence me are where my eyes go down, I'm looking at my call sheet for a wristband number and then coach upstairs says, 'All right, second-and-6,' and in my mind I was preparing for second-and-9 – that's a big deal. That's what we kind of talk about as an offense because there's not ifs, ands or buts about it, the run game is proactive. You are dictating the terms and it's hard to do down-in, down-out, but over the course of the game, if you're connected the right way from coaches and players and guys are progressing through the game, you can end up having seven straight runs, knowing that they know you're about to do it again and still getting production. That is something that did not just start on Sunday; that was a mindset of work from the first time that we had results we weren't pumped about this season. Chopping wood at that, directly addressing it so that we could work into that situation where there was an opportunity that the offensive line and running back room, it's all 11, but particularly those two groups that want the team to be on their back, they had the opportunity and took advantage of it, which was a huge, huge piece of growth for this team that we needed that is the source of feeling – we kind of had an odd feeling today where there was a really good feeling about getting the win, but not nearly satisfied with the way that it unfolded. We felt like we could have had a much cleaner game and the source of positive to build upon was really majority of the game run defense outside of a couple plays, some third down defense outside of a couple plays and the run game for sure took a step in the right direction." I know the offensive line had injuries in the early part of the year, so it sounds like maybe that was the best half of football you've seen that unit play together all season? "It's tough. It's a tough existence, it's almost like offensive linemen are kind of like – after retirement they should just go into officiating because they know how to roll, where a lot of the times the only attention you're getting is when things aren't working out or sometimes it doesn't have anything to do with you. Guys could be running the wrong route, so then you can't throw the ball and you get a late sack. But without question, this was the toughest task really from a run game technique and fundamental perspective, New England does a good job as any at defeating blocks. So they do a good job of really leaning into the most important technique and fundamentals on a down-in, down-out basis and to the offensive line's credit, they really took pride in it. They recognized early in the week that they might have this opportunity so they prepared and wanted to help the team win. So I thought the 41 runs, and in particular that last drive to go ahead and get the lead and eat up half the fourth quarter, that was definitely a badge of honor to the offensive line. It was not easy, but I can you promise you looking at them today, it was worth it." To piggyback off of that, after watching the film, how would you describe the impact that FB Alec Ingold had in the game? "Phenomenal. It was very fitting that he got the touchdown because I think it was the most snaps that he played all year. There's a couple plays in particular on that final drive that were as good as I've seen from a point of attack, blocker, tight end or fullback. The team voted him captain for a reason. There's a lot of guys that have leadership skills and play the game to have a 'C' on their chest. He proved to every teammate – not that he needed to at all – but he really wore the 'C' on his chest, leading, helping our offense operate but really did some outstanding things at the point of attack against a physical front that's really trying to inflict punishment on fullbacks in general. He was instrumental. He was at the point of attack a ton and had a very, very high execution rate. It was a really, really cool game, especially if you're really passionate about fullback play. That's a game that you want to turn on; it's one of the top ones that I can remember in terms of a fullback having an impact on the ultimate outcome, for sure." When you go back and look at the first five weeks, has there been a common thread on special teams that have led to some of these errors you guys have had? "Well two in particular – we've been excellent in punt protection and we had a punt blocked, so that was unique and that was new. I hadn't had an errant snap and that occurred one play after a false start, so those were unique and unto their own. We've had some penalties – ultimately you want to help a team win a game, not lose it, and there were some errors that the team had to overcome. I did feel like during the course of the game – I always watch for, OK, something happens that's detrimental to the team or whatever; nobody hates a bad snap more than the snapper. What I will say is in-game to come back and execute, that's important. We have to make sure that we don't shoot ourselves in the foot and have to do two kicks at the potential of the second snap being errant. That snap can't be errant. We can't have blocked punts; these are things that when they do occur, those negatives usually lead to L columns. Now I will say there was a lot of field position that was won by special teams. We pinned them down at the five-yard line in the second half and there was a couple real good plays by not only Braxton (Berrios) but the guys blocking the gunners and creating a touchback. We had a kickoff that was inside the 20, so it wasn't all bad; however the mistakes that did occur were unusual and we're trying to get down to the bottom of why they occurred that one time and make sure they don't happen again because you can't typically with mistakes like that, you end up losing the game. And the pattern can't exist, hasn't existed in terms of who was at fault and what happened that was negative. It kind of came out of nowhere and we need to make sure it stays in nowhere and doesn't become the rule of thumb." How do you keep the momentum going? You talked about, the guys all talked about this not being the perfect win that you guys wanted to clean up everything, so how do you keep that momentum going through the bye week into the week after? "I think you have to establish first and foremost the elephant in the room; we were absolutely going into the game with non-negotiable needing to win it. We felt that way as a team and we were able to do that; however after the game you're feeling like, wow, this game was really close, and it felt like we did more even giving credit to your opponents at all times, we did more to put ourselves in the situation to be a final-drive game than the opponent. And both things can be true. You can be satisfied with the result. You can understand that the result – I'm not sure if we would've won this game, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have won this game three weeks ago. We needed all the stuff to go on to occur to kind of grow into being able to win a messy game like this. However there are certain things – we will never feel good about our football unless we clean up errant snaps over somebody's head, missed snap on a field goal, a blocked punt, an explosive run touchdown. Those things – procedural stuff – we can control those things. There's a lot of things you can't control in this league. There are certain things you can. The way we started off today was talking about all those things that we can control with absolute certainty that's our job to get cleaned up. And all the while, understanding that it is a badge of honor to win that game relative to how we've found success in the past. To win a grimy game that isn't perfect is a step in the right direction. Now, how do we take control over the controllables? That's the most important thing for us moving forward, building upon the growth of the team, but we have a long ways to go and some time to do it, so we'll keep chopping wood every day." By ML Staff.
