Dolphins coach Adam Gase, the 2015 Bears offensive coordinator who was instrumental in cultivating Jay Cutler’s best season, did not care to distinguish between the two defeats.
“Every loss hurts, Gase said. “When you put 110 hours in a week and get kicked in the nuts like that, it pisses you off. This isn’t like a 9-to-5 (job). We have a lot of people putting a lot of work into this stuff.”
Despite being outscored 117-99, the Dolphins are still clinging to a piece of the lead in the less-than-impressive AFC East, tied with the Patriots at 3-2.
