DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins made an interesting T-shirt for their players last week that said, "We R Not Normal."
There were multiple meanings to that statement, according to the Dolphins, which include their ability to overcome adversity. That was on display in last week's 17-point, come-from-behind victory over the Atlanta Falcons.
What also was on display was Miami's incredible consistency for winning close games. The Dolphins' 20-17 win over Atlanta, the reigning NFC champions, was their 11th-straight win in games decided by seven points or fewer. That's a franchise record for Miami and, according to ESPN Stats & Info, this is the third-longest streak in the NFL in the past 15 years.
