Dolphins may have finally found a keeper as coach.
“He’s a great mind, and he’s a great dude,” cornerback Nate Brooks said. “He has this program going in a great direction.”
One measure of progress under Flores, a longtime Patriots assistant: In Week 2, they lost at home to New England, 43-0. In Week 17, they won at Foxborough for the first time since 2008.
“The first time, it was a joke,” defensive tackle Christian Wilkins said. “They just manhandled us and destroyed us. We’ve come a long way, clearly.”
they won five of their final nine games, and capped the turnaround Sunday when they ended a streak of 10 consecutive losses at New England with a 27-24 upset that cost the Patriots a first-round bye in the playoffs.
Now, armed with three first-round draft picks and $100 million in salary cap space, the Dolphins appear poised to make a leap forward — and perhaps even win a playoff game for the first time in 20 years.
Fitzpatrick, 37, has said he’s undecided about whether to return for a 16th NFL season.
“I will start the ‘One more year’ chant right now if you want,” TE Gesicki said. “I love playing with him.”
Fitzpatrick is under contract for another season
