Browns hope to go '1-0' when they visit hot Dolphins November 10 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) Mike Orlando Pace Jersey McDaniel believes playing in tight games can lead to more wins late in the season. Being involved in close contests, as his Miami Dolphins have all season, could give a team a competitive edge if they're able to learn from them.It kind of snowballs for teams where you can be in tight games consecutively," the first-year Dolphins coach said. "And you can find yourself with the same result until you get yourself out of it either way."The Dolphins have played in five games decided by a touchdown or le s. Theyve won them all. On Sunday, Miami will host the Cleveland Browns, who have struggled to win close games. Despite having the NFLs fourth-ranked offense behind a dominant rushing attack, the Browns have lost four of the five games they've played that were decided by a field goal or le s. Now, they're on the outside of the AFC playoff picture with nine games left.For us, it really does go back to a one-game season, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said. One game, this one is important, the next one is going to be important and so on. For us, we totally understand where we are, but we have to focus on going 1-0 down against a very, very good football team on the road.The Browns have only been in three double-digit games. The most recent was their surprising 32-13 blowout of the Bengals.I think we played a full 60-minute game, quarterback Jacoby Bri sett said. It was our first Taylor Rapp Jersey time, I think, of the year ending the game taking the knee. That is huge to be able to do that in the NFL.McDaniel said part of Miamis late-game succe s stems from players not trying to do everything themselves when they get into tight situations, which is learned through trial and error.Dolphins safety Jevon Holland said winning tight contests is about keeping a peaceful mind, and not letting game-deciding moments become too big.Its just another down, regardle s of if its the game to win the Super Bowl or just winning one game in the regular season, Holland said, Youve got to play it for what it is.Being able to close out tight games separates a lot of the NFL's great teams.But ideally, Holland added, the Dolphins want to show theyre great by dominating their opponent every game, and just completely nullifying an offense both mentally and physically."THEY'RE OPENDolphins receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle have been extremely productive this season. And extremely open.Hill leads the NFL with 1,104 yards receiving. Waddle is fifth with 812. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa pointed to McDaniels ability to scheme guys open and tailor the offense to what players such as Hill and Waddle do best. But Hill and Waddle are also so fast that safeties have no choice but to give them a cushion, which is why theyve been able to get so open over the middle of the field.Basically putting them in spots to utilize their skillsets, offensive coordinator Frank Smith said. "The one thing you see about our offense is that were constantly in motion, constantly moving pieces to try and allow our guys to get in positions to attack the defense.NICK OF TIMEClimbing in stature and the Browns' record books seemingly with every carry, running back Nick Chubb is having his best season.The three-time Pro Bowler has 841 yards rushing, Ethan Westbrooks Jersey and is on pace to surpa s his best season 1,494 yards in 2019 when he finished second to Tenne see's Derrick Henry for the NFL rushing title. Cleveland hasn't had a back win the crown since Leroy Kelly in 1968.The Dolphins gave up 252 yards on the ground to Chicago last week, and now have to deal with Cleveland's potent attack led by Chubb.Nick is in a league of his own, does a lot of great things, Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb said of his cousin. He gets stronger as the game goes on. As you hit him more and more, he just keeps churning those legs, keeps doing what he does.WELCOME HOMEIt will be a homecoming times two for Bri sett, who was born in West Palm Beach and played for the Dolphins last season.However, Bri sett isn't feeling sentimental about Sunday.I dont care, said Bri sett, who posted a career-best 133.7 pa ser rating last week against Cincinnati. "I just want to go win. Thats what my focus is. Im not really into the other stuff.Bri sett started five games for Miami last season, going 2-3 while backing up and filling in for Tagovailoa, who has taken a big jump in 2022 and currently leads the league in pa ser rating.The Dolphins are Austin Blythe Jersey looking forward to seeing their former teammate.Hes been playing great, so its going to be good, Waddle said. Jacobys real funny so Im excited to just chop it up. I know hes got some jokes for us, for sure.___AP NFL: hub/nfl and AP_NFL in this topic Miami Dolphins National Football League Bradley Chubb Derrick Henry Tua Tagovailoa Nick Chubb Tyreek Hill Jacoby Bri sett Cleveland Browns Miami Dolphins Spain or Morocco?
