Coach Mike McDaniel's Miami Dolphins have done a lot of winning this season: They're 9-3 for the first time in 22 years and are tied for the best record in the AFC. What does McDaniel think of that? Hosting a playoff game is the Dolphins' long-term goal as they try to close in on their first division title since 2008.
The Tennessee Titans placed punter Ryan Stonehouse and linebacker Joe Jones on injured reserve Friday after both suffered season-ending injuries in last weekend's overtime loss to Indianapolis. Titans coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that Stonehouse would need season-ending surgery after a Colts defender collided with the second-year punter's left, plant leg early in the fourth quarter. Vrabel fired special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman on Monday after the Titans also had a punt blocked and returned for a touchdown on the punt attempt before Stonehouse's injury.
