(AP Photo/Seth Wenig)EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Arizona Cardinals certainly came to the right place to get back on the winning track. Having Kyler Murray and the offense put up nearly 500 yards against the hapless and winless Jets was almost predictable. “I don’t want anyone on the team to feel satisfied with what happened today," said Murray, who threw for 380 yards. Jets: play at Miami next Sunday as NFL reorganizes schedule due to coronavirus pandemic.

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake dives forward after being tackled by Washington's Montae Nicholson at Hard Rock Stadium on Oct. 13, 2019 in Miami Gardens, Florida. DAVIE, Fla. - The Miami Dolphins are heading to Pittsburgh without key players. Running back Kenyan Drake is being left behind for what's being called "Not Injury Related" reasons. The Dolphins are reportedly trying to work a deal to trade Drake. Also missing will be Reshad Jones who has a chest injury and center Daniel Kilgore with a knee injury.

Kenyan Drake of the Miami Dolphins dives forward after being tackled by Montae Nicholson of the Washington Redskins at Hard Rock Stadium on October 13, 2019. Adrian Peterson more than doubled his season rushing total with 118 for Bill Callahan in his first game as interim coach. Washington intercepted Josh Rosen twice and sacked him five times before he was benched at the start of the fourth quarter with the Dolphins trailing 17-3. The Dolphins (0-5) remained winless under Flores but helped their chances of securing the No. The Dolphins lost their season finale there last year, and coach Adam Gase was then fired.

DAVIE, Fla. - Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is lamenting wasted opportunities. The Dolphins lost to Dallas 31-6 on Sunday, but Flores believes the team had plenty of chances to make the game closer against the Cowboys. "There was definitely some opportunities for us to make plays in all three phases," Flores said Monday. Flores said Drake needs to work on ball security, but does not need to change his running style. Though the Dolphins are off to a terrible start, Flores does not think the team is far away in these games.

The last time Kenyan Drake was the featured back of an offense was his high school days at Hillgrove High, and those expecting Miami to put more on his plate this season might be setting themselves up for a letdown. Kalen Ballage, a 2018 fourth-round pick, has spent the first two practices working with the starters while Drake comes onto the practice field on third downs. The Dolphins could be pacing Drake, who contributed 1,012 rushing and receiving yards and led the team with nine touchdowns last year. But Brian Flores and offensive coordinator Chad OShea do come from an offense that typically has tailbacks playing specific roles and rotating in and out of games.
