| DAVIE, Fla. - Heres a list of Miami Dolphins coaches who never won a game by 37 points or more:Jimmy Johnson. Nick Saban. Tony Sparano. Dave Wannstedt. Cam Cameron. Todd Bowles. Jim Bates. George Wilson.Now Joe Philbin has done it. One day after a stunning 37-0 victory over San Diego, Philbin offered this message: Dont get used to it.We cant anticipate were going to shut out our next eight opponents, Philbin said Monday. Thats not real life in the National Football League. And its hard to average 37 points a game in the NFL over an eight-game stretch. Were going to have to find new ways to win, and just keep improving.The Dolphins improved to 5-3 with their most lopsided victory since 1995, when Don Shula was still in charge. That was eight coaches ago.After 2 1/2 years in Miami, Philbin is at .500 (20-20), his job future beyond this season still uncertain. But with three consecutive victories, Philbin is on the verge of a breakthrough, because he has never had a team win four in a row.A lack of sustained success is one reason Miami hasnt been to the playoffs since 2008.The Dolphins won three in a row in 2012, Philbins first season, then lost three in a row. They enjoyed a 3-0 start in 2013, then lost the next four. They won three in a row last December, then endured a late-season meltdown and lost their final two games.How will this team handle success?Its a good question, Philbin said. Its one weve got to answer.The win over San Diego was an emotional one, with Philbin receiving a game ball from owner Stephen Ross. The coach missed two days of practice last week to be with his father, who died Friday, and Philbin will be absent again Tuesday and Wednesday to attend the funeral.When it comes to the more mundane matter of wins and losses, Philbin appears to have things headed in the right direction.Were a better team today than we were Oct. 1, or than we were in September, Philbin said. The challenge every week is to find ways to improve.Miami is an underdog Sunday at NFC North leader Detroit (6-2), and still off the radar with many playoff prognosticators. Receiver Mike Wallace said hed prefer the rest of the league not take note of the latest win.Hopefully not, so we can do the same thing next week, Wallace said. Hopefully, nobody ever catches on. Hopefully, people just keep taking us easy, so we come away with wins like this.The Dolphins look like more than one-game wonders. For the first time since 1997, theyve scored at least 24 points in five consecutive games, according to STATS. Theyve outscored opponents during that span 153-68. The lone loss during that stretch came in the final seconds against Green Bay, leaving them one play from a five-game winning streak.Midway through his third season, Ryan Tannehill is blossoming at quarterback. He ranks only 28th in the league in yards per attempt, but over past five games he has completed 68 per cent of his attempts while averaging 8.2 yards per pass, with a rating of 104.1.Meanwhile, the defence leads NFL in yards allowed per play, yards allowed per pass and first downs. Miami ranks second in pass defence, third in total defence and fourth in rushing.Nows not the time to savour statistics, defensive co-ordinator Kevin Coyle said.Were only halfway through, he said. You look down the road, weve got a few dicey ones on the horizon.The next three games are against teams who are a combined 17-7. The Dolphins might just be built for the challenge.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve_Wine Cheap NFL Jerseys China .D.

Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Free Shipping .com) - Robert Upshaw made a putback jumper to put 17th-ranked Washington ahead with 1:27 remaining in the game and the Huskies held on to beat Eastern Washington 81-77 on Sunday.A good thing came to an end for the Winnipeg Goldeyes Tuesday night and Sioux City Explorers pitcher Patrick Johnson is largely to blame. The Goldeyes struck out 11 times at the hands of Johnson and had their franchise record 11-game winning streak end with a 2-1 loss to the Explorers before 5,010 fans at Shaw Park. The loss shrinks Winnipegs lead in the American Associations North Division to 8 1/2 games. "Johnson pitched a hell of a ballgame today," Goldeyes manager Rick Forney said. "At this level, you usually dont see that kind of arm speed and velocity. It was a good match up (for him) with that umpire (Nick Gonzalez). That umpire calls a high strike and its tough to catch up to when you dont see it all the time and have to guard against three other pitches. We were overmatched by this guy." Sioux City started the scoring in the top of the third inning. After Tommy Mendonca led off the with a triple, he scored on a two-out single by Oscar Mesa. Winnipeg had a golden opportunity to take the lead in the bottom of the fourth, but the Goldeyes left the bases loaded when Reggie Abercrombie struck out. "If we could have cashed our chips in the fourth inning, it would have been a totally different ballgame,&" Forney said.dddddddddddd Winnipeg finally tied the game in the bottom of the eighth inning. Ryan Pineda led off with a single, went to second on a bunt by Tyler Kuhn, stole third and scored on a Josh Mazzola sac fly. The tie didnt last long, though. Former Goldeyes infielder Amos Ramon hit an RBI single the top of the ninth inning off Chris Kissock to regain the lead for the Explorers. "We were fortunate to get out of (the top of the ninth) with only giving up one run, but unfortunately that one run was enough for them to win the ballgame," Forney said. Kuhn was the only Goldeyes player to register a hit in the game. In fact, five Goldeyes didnt register a hit in the game, including Casey Haerther, whose 17-game hitting streak also came to an end. Goldeyes starter Chris Salamida posted his third consecutive quality start, allowing just one run in seven innings of work. He struck out seven and walked just one in a no-decision. Johnson picked up the win for Sioux City, while Kissock suffered the loss for Winnipeg. The second game of the three-game series goes Wednesday night at Shaw Park. American Association win-leader Matt Jackson (7-2, 2.83) will face Sioux Citys John Straka (4-4, 3.12). ' ' 'r fists after many points, Sharapova righted herself and improved to 14-2 against Stosur.
