The Miami Dolphin intercepted San Diego Charger quarterback Philip Rivers four times just in the fourth quarter to earn their fourth straight win, a wild 31-24 victory in San Diego on Sunday. Miami linebacker Kiko Alonso returned the last interception into the end zone for his first career interception of his life to lead the Dolphins to the win. Alonso said he observed as Rivers motioned to Tyrell Williams to get in position for a pass and he said he jumped the route, picked off the pass, and then outraced San Diego’s offense for 60 yards to the end zone with only a minute left in the game.
KIKOOOOOOO!!
