Comment on Sen. Chuck Grassley anticipates smooth Senate confirmation for Tom Vilsack as ag secretary

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.  — The long way back, if this somehow becomes that, started with a 21-yard pass to Tyreek Hill. “I saw him break open, and I went to him,” Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley said after a 15-10 win over the New England Patriots. The long way back, if this final drive was proof of a better team and not perfume covering obvious problems, ended with fullback Alec Ingold scoring their lone touchdown on a simple handoff from the 3-yard line. “That play might be the Day One install for every offense in America,” Ingold said. It was such a long day’s journey continuing this season’s chronic weirdness and whack-a-mole problems that when the Dolphins turned into a football team for one drive — one game-winning, season-saving, 15-play, 80-yard touchdown drive — the actual question wasn’t so much where this win takes them.

The Miami Dolphins went to New England with a chance to turn things around early in this season. They got that process started with a 15-10 victory, but it wasn’t comforting as they held on until the very last play of the game. The Dolphins (2-3) had a sloppy performance before finding their footing in the fourth quarter with a physical drive that could help them establish an identity other than being a cutesy, finesse passing team. One thing that became apparent Sunday is that coach Mike McDaniel, however, needs to work on team discipline.

FOXBOROUGH — Well, there weren’t many surprises when the league’s two worst offenses got together. Not much offense, either. The Dolphins won’t apologize about his 15-10 win, though. They’re 2-3.
