MIAMI GARDENS, Fla., Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Minkah Fitzpatrick prowled the end zone paint, pounced for an interception and ran 98 yards the other way to deny game-tying points, helping the Miami Dolphins hold off the New Orleans Saints on Sunday for their fourth win in five games.
The Dolphins, who held a 16-0 lead in the first half, scored just one touchdown, but forced two turnovers -- not including Fitzpatrick's interception of a two-point conversion attempt -- in the gritty 21-17 triumph in Miami Gardens, Fla.
"I really appreciate how much this defense has been fighting," said Fitzpatrick, who logged a forced fumble and a sack "We obviously had a really rough start to the season, but what I appreciate is that, through our downs and low period, we were sticking together.
"We weren't pointing fingers. .. We've been seeing a gradual incline."
