On today's episode of The Daily Hunt: The Miami Dolphins beat the New York Jets 26-18 on Sunday.

That's right, folks. 

After starting the season 0-7, the Miami Dolphins and Coach Brian Flores, finally got their first victory of the season on Sunday.  And best of all, it came against Miami's division rivals the New York Jets, led by HC Adam Gase.

When asked what it felt like to get the first win, Flores had this to say.

“It feels good. The first thing I would say is players win games. We coach them but players win games. That group, they did a really nice job today. We didn’t get off to the best start; but like all year, we’ve dealt with a lot of adversity and these guys know how to deal with that and they came back and we played well after that slow start.”

But truth is, it meant more to Flores than anyone could know.  

“It feels great. The person I’m thinking about right now is my mom. She passed away in March and she’s been my good luck charm for a long time and this is the first season I’ve had in football without her. So she’s the person that came to mind. This one’s for her and it was a lot of fun and it was a great moment.”
