DAVIE (CBSMiami/AP) — A win is a win, no matter how long it takes to achieve.
The Miami Dolphins’ first game in 2017 was delayed a week due to a hurricane, so it was no big deal when they needed more than seven hours to play this year’s opener.
Miami showed a willingness to wait for a win, outlasting the Tennessee Titans 27-20 in a game took longer to play than any since at least 1970.
Months of preparation for the season didn’t include a plan on how to deal with a pair of weather delays lasting about two hours each.
