T.J. McDonald with what looked like an INT but now seems to have hit the ground instead

Raiders already in the red zone ready to deliver the dagger the Fins have been asking for

None-other than Xavien Howard with a game-saving, maybe game-winning INT in the end zone .

Will the Fins FINALLY be smart with the ball this time?

Tannehill on the toss to Albert Wilson and its the DOLPHINS who deliver the dagger on a 74-yard run - this was a game the Fins had NO business winning with how they were playing - doing things that seem like they were begging to lose.

It looks like the Fins will have found yet another way to win a game and go to 3-0 as they head into a tougher stretch of their schedule

To be honest if the refs didn't call two BS offensive PI penalties and that ridiculous hold on Kikgore they walk in this game. spenses penalty was stupid though. Between all of that the D was forced out there all game. I was proud that they fought through the BS. Unfortunately not everyone will recognize this...

The Fins have the type of talent and coaching that can overcome penalties when they have to.

The team speed really was evident. The coaching of the Fins was excellent also. They are creative and use the team speed as an advantage.

CB Howard played shutdown ball. He's a ballhawk.

The Fins Oline was solid.

The Fins punter doesn't get much hype but he is one of the best in the NFL. Last week he was a gamechanger with multiple kicks inside the 10. He was solid again this week.

THill is a winner. He seldom turns the ball over & he continues to throw at a high percentage. Teams have to respect his running so he alters their defenses.

The Fins are deep at WR. There is a lot of talent with this group. The TEs are making more plays too.

The defense just won without one of the best players; R. Jones

The Dline showed that they can step up if a player is out of the game.

It was a big win. The Fins are 3 and 0 with a chance to take a 3 game lead in the division.

The Fins don't play with much pressure. They believe in themselves and the coaches. The list of guys that will be proved wrong by their performances keeps growing.

4 and 0 would be great. Go Fins!

Still zero respect around the league not one word about the Fins... Tanny has now won 10-11 of his last game's crickets...

There were lots of positives from the game. A negative though is the William Hayes injury. He is out for the year with a torn ACL. He is the Fins' best run stuffing DE. The play happened because he was trying not to land on a QB. These defensive players have been tackling QB's a certain way for there entire careers. They have to change how they tackle because of league rules. I think the guys that make the rules probably never played football. Pile drive plays happen less often than standard tackles. The league needs to be clear about the differences between tackles.

The Fins will need another DE to step up. Branch & Harris will get more opportunities to make plays. The Fins have good depth at DE so they may be alright going forward.

DE Branch got hurt in the Raiders game also. I think it is time to DE Harris to make a name for himself. The injury to Hayes gives him that opportunity.

The Fins still have Wake & Quinn as quality starters.
