Dolphins coach Brian Flores' FDNY shirt a nod to uncle who impacted his life

MIAMI -- Dolphins coach Brian Flores has a trademark look on game days: a dark grey vest over a long-sleeved white shirt, khaki pants and black shoes accompany an expression that is generally all business. It's what he wore Sunday during the team's win against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.

Flores isn't in the habit of changing clothes before he speaks with the media, but that wasn't the case after the Jets game. He stepped to the podium wearing a navy FDNY (New York City Fire Department) T-shirt.

It was a gift from his uncle, Darrell Patterson, a retired firefighter.
