My game ball goes to Albert Wilson.  One TD on the ground and a TD pass.  Huge game.

It was a tough call over my honorable mention, Xavien Howard.  This guy is breaking out as possibly the best DB in the league.

I was very worried when Reshad Jones was ruled out and the first two Oakland drives backed that up, but they fought back defensively and X-Man is a big reason for that. He gets the game ball on defense and Jakeem on offense.

The refs deserve one for setting up Miami's first score.

The refs also cost the Dolphins a score with a complete phantom of a pick play (the first one) where the linebacker steps up and hits the receiver on a crossing route, despite the receiver taking a step and a half towards the LoS to avoid contact.

There were some other questionable calls as well and this time I feel the Dolphins got shafted more than not.

My Game ball goes to Xavian Howard for sitting on Amari Cooper all day and coming up with an awesome interception at a critical point (the first INT was nice as well). For reference, Cooper caught just two balls for 17 yards with Howard covering him.

HM to Tannehill for a near-flawless game, much better than last week.

I agree with this.

Additionally, this was one of those games, where even when we were down, I thought we would win.  We outplayed the Raiders all game and kept getting brought back with holding and other plays not indicative of what was happening.  ...or extended Oakland's streaks with defensive fouls on uncatchable balls and stuff.  And the helmet ripping for a first down.   We were better than they were on Sunday.

I have to go with X for the two interceptions and his coverage all game of Amari Cooper. The two-time Pro Bowler managed only two catches for 17 yards. This means X had as many catches as he did.  LOL

Albert Wilson is a joy to have and I love how he has instituted including his teammates on his celebrations. Good call from a team player. I think that attitude is infectious.

I also have to give a shout out to starting right guard Jesse Davis who filled in on the defensive line as well yesterday. It takes a village!

My boy brought this to my attention during the game,I didn't even see that. He said he played DL in a college a little bit.  MIA needed al the help they could muster on the DL yesterday.

Xavien Howard, with an HM to Wilson as a close second.  Grant also had a couple big plays.

I didn't have that level of confidence, but I can say that on the Wilson pass when Grant was in the open field with one guy to beat, I absolutely knew that was 6 points.  No way Grant is getting tackled in the open field there.

From Armando ...

Albert Wilson played only 10 plays Sunday: Scored a 74 yard TD and threw a 52 yard TD.

10 plays. 2 TDs. Efficient.

That's pretty incredible

It's hard for me not to vote for Xavien Howard,IMO he timely pick in the endzone felt like it saved our bacon...

For most of this game,I had Shame of the game on my mind more than Gameball... Embarrassed

Who's getting all the snaps? Did Parker have the majority of the snaps along with Stills? Are Amendola and Wilson splitting time? What about Grant, is he getting a lot more looks? It's a good thing that there's so many players to choose from but 10 plays for Wilson seems a bit light.
