Miami’s 39-17 victory over the Cleveland Browns was the largest point differential for coach Mike McDaniel and company in a win this season.
Additionally, it was the fourth time this year that the Dolphins allowed less than 20 points. However, last Sunday’s win over Cleveland changed the tone for a defense that had allowed at least 24 points in the five previous games.
Miami is 22nd in the league with an average of 24 points allowed per game, but the defense, which allows just 15 points per game at home, looks to be headed in the right direction, according to defensive coordinator Josh Boyer.
