Die Allianz T-D-P » restarts, Hamilton consistently opened u

DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins returned to South Florida from their latest win at 5 a.m. Sunday and were back at work a few hours later, smiling and chatty and betraying no signs of a short nights sleep.Theyre too busy savoring success.Winning is fun, guard Jermon Bushrod said. Thats what we get paid to do. You want to be in meaningful games in December, and you just want to win, because winning feels real good.Its a new sensation in these parts, with the Dolphins (9-5) now assured of their first winning season since 2008 following Saturday nights 34-13 drubbing of the New York Jets .But the Dolphins are focused on a more ambitious achievement -- making the playoffs. They can end a seven-season playoff drought by sweeping their final two regular-season games, and could even clinch next weekend.The more you win, the more pressure the next game is, Bushrod said. Saturday was a big game for us, but it wont be the biggest. I dont want that to be the biggest game we play. I want us to keep finding a way to win, because thats what good teams do.With eight victories in the past nine games, the Dolphins are clearly better than in recent years, and the weeks to come will help determine how good they are. They play Saturday at Buffalo and then conclude the regular season Jan. 1 against New England.Miami regained control of its fate Sunday when Denver lost to New England . The Dolphins moved ahead of the Broncos (8-6) in the race for the final AFC wild-card spot, and will clinch a berth next weekend if they win and Denver loses at Kansas City.Nobody preaches one week at a time more than first-year coach Adam Gase, and when asked if he allows himself even a moment to be excited about his teams success, he stuck with a response so familiar he considered it not even worth quoting.I think you know what my answer is going to be, Gase said. Its wasting paper and the internet. But that has been a great thing our players have embraced: Focus on what were doing right now.We play until somebody tells us not to. We just need to stick with that mantra.The Jets sure couldnt stop them. The Dolphins completed their first sweep of their division rivals since 2009 as Matt Moore threw a career-high four touchdown passes in his first start since 2011.I think I got a good pulse of the guys and how they were feeling, and even if I didnt, I would probably fake it, Moore said. But I felt really good, and I knew the guys felt good.They looked good, too. Kenny Stills had a reception covering at least 50 yards for the third time this year. Jarvis Landry turned a short pass into a 66-yard touchdown and surpassed 1,000 yards for the season, and Jay Ajayi became a 1,000-yard rusher.On defense, Cameron Wake had a strip sack and his first career interception, and Tony Lippett added two interceptions, while Walt Aikens scored on special teams for the second week in a row.With quarterback Ryan Tannehill sidelined by a knee injury, the Dolphins found a way to compensate, as theyve done with season-ending injuries to their best defensive back (Reshad Jones) and best offensive lineman (Mike Pouncey).Once again, somebody goes down, and everybody rallies and steps up their game, Gase said. You dont hear our guys putting their head down and being upset. Its that rallying cry of next man up.As a reward, most of the Dolphins have a shot at the first playoff game of their career.This is an amazing feeling to be in the position that we are in, Landry said. I cant remember in past years how many Dolphins teams were above .500 at this point in the year. So for us to be where we are is a testament to the hard work weve put in.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine .

Dillon Brooks Grizzlies Jersey . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half.Christian Horner is willing to rate Max Verstappens drive at the Brazilian Grand Prix alongside some of Formula Ones most iconic wet-weather performances.Verstappen stole the show at Interlagos with a thrilling drive full of brilliant overtakes, capped by a charge from 16th to third in the closing stages. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff later remarked the teenager is redefining the laws of physics with every drive.It led to comparisons with countless other great drives in wet conditions and Horner thinks it deserves its place amongst the best.When asked where it stacked up with Ayrton Sennas drive at Monaco in 1984 or Michael Schumachers at Barcelona in 1996, Horner said: It is right up there, you have to compare it to those great moments.You dont often witness a motor race like that, and what we saw today was something very, very special.Verstappens drive included a great pass around the outside of Nico Rosberg on the outside of Turn 2 in the final part of the race.The one I enjoyed the most was Rosberg! But all of his passing moves - he raced hard with Sebastian, he raced hard with Kimi into Turn 1, all his movees were great passing moves.ddddddddddddDespite Verstappens heroics, Horner doubts the teenager could have challenged Lewis Hamilton for the victory. After the numerous restarts, Hamilton consistently opened up a gap to second place after managing each one without encountering drama.It would have been difficult to challenge Lewis. We managed to get into second place, but Lewis seemed to have the pace to cover us, so that is why we took a slight risk with the strategy to roll the dice, looking like hopefully the intermediate would come alive.It became apparent to us shortly afterwards as the rain very slightly increased, that we needed to abort that strategy, which was quite painful behind the safety car because you drop back a significant amount of positions. But the speed which he came back through the field, not losing time, we could see that he was catching Perez who was in the podium position with 10 laps to go, every lap, even when he was making passes he was gaining time.
