Sunday marked the first victory for first-year head coach Adam Gase. This win also helped the Dolphins avoid what would have been their first 0-3 start since 2011. Even though his team did come out on top, Gase says the team needs to keep working towards getting better as a team.  The Dolphins will next travel to Cincinnati to face off against the Bengals on Thursday Night Football.
