The Palm Beach Post

Thomas not only snagged the game clinching interception against the Patriots, but he did it wearing loaner gloves from teammate Mike Wallace. Watch Thomas interrupt an interview to impersonate a reporter and ask Wallace about the gloves.

Thomas then went on to talk about his relationship with Jonathan cheap jerseys Martin, who he played with at Stanford, as well as his sudden stardom. It all here, recorded on hands free Google Glass.

The Dolphins control their own destiny, but Baltimore improbable 61 yard field goal to defeat the Lions Monday night makes it more difficult for Miami to clinch a playoff berth on Sunday.

Miami (8 6) can clinch with a win over the Bills and losses by both the Ravens (8 6) and Bengals (9 5). The Ravens are hosting New England and the Bengals are hosting the Vikings.

In that scenario, the Dolphins and Bengals would be 9 6 and the Ravens would be 8 7. With Cincinnati hosting Baltimore in the season finale, so the winner of that game would win the AFC North, the loser would miss the playoffs and Miami would earn a Wild Card playoff berth. If Baltimore and Cincinnati finish tied, the Ravens have the tiebreaker to win the division.

If the Dolphins and Bengals are then tied for the Wild Card spot, the Dolphins hold that tiebreaker after defeating Cincinnati in Week 9.

If Baltimore or Cincinnati wins Sunday, the Dolphins cannot clinch a playoff berth until Week 17 against the Jets.

The Dolphins still have a chance to win the AFC East although it a long shot. Miami would have to win out and the Patriots would have to lose their final two games at Baltimore at home against the Bills. It hard to imagine New England finishing the season on a three game losing skid, including a home loss to Buffalo with the division on the line.

But in that scenario the Dolphins could even get Wholesale NFL Jerseys a first round playoff bye depending on what happens with Indianapolis, Baltimore and Cincinnati. But think Wild Card, not division. And no matter what happens to other AFC teams in the next two weeks, Miami makes the playoffs by defeating the Bills and the Jets.

Here are highlights from Coach Joe Phiblin, Offensive Coordinator cheap nfl jerseys Mike Sherman and Defensive Coordinator Kevin Coyle.

Coyle said safety/nickel Michael Thomas who saved the game both by stopping Danny Amendola in the end zone and then getting the improbable interception off a Tom Brady pass had a grand total of zero snaps in practice this week. He was signed off San Francisco practice squad on Tuesday.

just spent a lot of time in meetings, Coyle said. really credit him and coaches. (Assistant defensive backs coach) Blue (Adams) did a great job. He had him in there extra hours, kept him in early, kept him after on Friday, later on Saturday after walk throughs.

was behind me in the press box and I kept on asking him does (Thomas) know this, can he handle this, what things can we do? Blue had a lot of confidence in Michael, saying he knows everything. He saying he could do this. I like he been here two days. He said gone over all that, he smart. tried to keep it fairly simple here at the end. To his credit that a very competitive guy, and he a bright guy. As big of a play as the last play was, the play prior to it it looks like on our film (Amendola got the ball in hands and (Thomas) comes over the top and punches it out, knocks it out. If he doesn make that play, we never get to the last play of the game. Sherman said that the Dolphins focus heavily on the two minute drill in practice and it a huge point of emphasis for Phiblin. It all starts, he said, with quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who led the go ahead drive late in the 4th quarter.

all starts with the quarterback a very consistent, composed, confident guy at quarterback, Sherman said. never any panic. When they take the field on two minute they feel like they going to have success.

The Dolphins now control their own destiny regardless of the Ravens.

If Baltimore wins out (still a long shot with Lions, Pats and Bengals ahead), the Ravens actually win the AFC North. Baltimore would have defeated Cincinnati twice.

And in that scenario, Bengals would finish at best 10 6. If Miami also is 10 6, the cheap nfl jerseys Dolphins have the tiebreaker over Cincinnati.
