MIAMI GARDENS — So much for not beating a good team.
“Awesome, check that box,” Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said.
So much for not having a signature comeback this year.
“It means the team isn’t crazy for feeling the way we feel,” McDaniel said.
So much for the kicker also not making 50-yard kicks.
“Our locker room is filled with they-said-you-cants,” McDaniel said.
There were so many nagging questions and so much good answers in the Dolphins’ 22-20 thriller of a Christmas Eve win over the Dallas Cowboys in Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday that it was time to consider more pressing concerns....
In this video, the South Florida Sun Sentinel’s Chris Perkins and David Furones discuss the Miami Dolphins’ defining moment of the season so far — getting their first victory over a winning team this year with their win over Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium.

Miami came out ahead on all counts with a riveting 22-20 victory on a 29-yard field goal by kicker Jason Sanders with no time remaining. It was his fivth field goal of the game, his first from less than 50 yards.
The Dolphins and Cowboys both had lots of storylines to diffuse in Sunday’s matchup.
But the enduring narrative is Miami can beat good teams. This was the Dolphins’ first victory...
General Daily Insight for December 24, 2023
Being our most productive selves is easier than usual today. The Moon in steady Taurus starts out with a trine to alchemical Pluto in Capricorn, helping us draw upon our deepest energy sources. The Moon then enters chatty Gemini and squares Saturn in Pisces, forcing us to get more serious. Happily, the Sun in Capricorn will then sextile Saturn at 12:28 pm EST, so we can use all these vibrations to our benefit. Long-term thinking will be the most useful kind.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — With Florida Atlantic and Arizona going back and forth Saturday, forcing one overtime and then a second, it didn’t feel like an early-season tournament game.
These teams could wind up facing each other again in March with much more on the line than the Desert Classic.
If so, they will have a difficult time topping the No. 14 Owls’ 96-95 victory over No. 4 Arizona for FAU’s first win over a top-10 team. Johnell Davis scored 35 points, just one short of his career high, and had nine rebounds.
“It felt like a high-level basketball game,” FAU...

The case over the 23-year-old Black man’s death was the first among several recent criminal prosecutions against medical first responders to reach trial, potentially setting the bar for prosecutors in future cases.
It also was the last of three trials against police and paramedics charged...
