The Miami Dolphins’ 28-17 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8 is now comfortably in the rear view mirror — Miami has moved on to focus on the Arizona Cardinals and will look to execute a completely different game plan for this weekend versus the one that was implemented against the Rams. But the Rams game has now been put under the spotlight thanks to NFL Films’ “NFL Turning Point”, which took a deep dive to explore just how Brian Flores’ Dolphins defense was able to shred Los Angeles — and how his experiences against the Rams in the Super Bowl when with the Patriots was able to help.
It’s a terrific deep dive into the nuances of game planning and offers Dolphins fans a more intimate look into the inner workings of Miami’s defensive success and, thanks to the presence of some microphones on the field from Sunday, an engaging watch.

Can you think of a better bow to put on Miami’s fourth win of the 2020 season? The Dolphins are now just one win away from their 2019 total and will only hit the halfway mark of this 2020 season on Sunday against the Cardinals. If you’re looking for signs of progress this season, you won’t have to look far. But seeing how that progress is materializing courtesy of looks into the Dolphins like this one from NFL Films should only be inspiring more confidence that the Dolphins as a team are on the right track and they’ve got the right person heading up the operation in Brian Flores.
