(AP Photo/Matthew Hinton)MOBILE, Ala. โ€“ Texas A&Mโ€™s Kellen Mond was the Senior Bowl Most Valuable Player but two fellow Southeastern Conference Western Division products made the decisive big play. Fitzpatrick had six catches for 90 yards in the showcase game for senior and graduate NFL prospects, earning offensive player of the game honors. Obviously, kind of shaky at the beginning but it definitely shows a lot of poise to be able to bounce back.โ€North Carolina running back Michael Carter also had a big game. The game was played for the first time at South Alabamaโ€™s new Hancock Whitney Stadium, with Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores leading the National team and Carolinaโ€™s Matt Rhule coaching the American team.

(AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack)MIAMI โ€“ Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Chan Gailey has resigned one season after coming out of retirement. โ€œHe played an important role on the staff and in the development of our young roster.โ€Gailey's resignation means Flores will have his third offensive coordinator in as many seasons in 2021.

Dolphins QB Ryan Fitzpatrick tests positive for COVID-19

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (14) warms up before an NFL football game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Sunday, Dec. 6, 2020, in Miami Gardens, Fla.

(AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee)MIAMI โ€“ Miami Dolphins backup quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick tested positive for COVID-19 and is expected to miss Sundayโ€™s regular-season finale at Buffalo.

The move to play for the field goal backfired as the Raiders lost on a kick instead. My head was getting ripped off.โ€The penalty moved the ball down to the Las Vegas 26, setting up Sandersโ€™ winning kick. Las Vegas then ran out most of the clock but not enough.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes' arm angles causing defenses fits

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) throws under pressure against the Denver Broncos in the second half of an NFL football game in Kansas City, Mo., Sunday, Dec. 6, 2020. One of the things that has made the Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback so dynamic is his ability to unload a pass to his deep and talented group of wide receivers from seemingly impossible spots. โ€œEvery week you guys ask me about a record here or there, so I think he's cooking pretty good,โ€ Chiefs coach Andy Reid said with a grin. His quick release from so many angles allows him to squeeze the ball through the smallest of holes. He has one of its best rookies in Clyde Edwards-Helaire and one of its best veteran running backs in LeVeon Bell.

Panthers hire Peterson, NHL's first Black assistant GM

The Florida Panthers on Tuesday hired Brett Peterson as an assistant general manager, making him the first Black executive to hold that position in the NHL.

Tua Tagovailoa had help from a less-heralded rookie while Justin Herbert struggled against a relentless pass rush, and the surprising Dolphins earned their fifth consecutive victory by beating the Los Angeles Chargers 29-21 Sunday. The Chargers could never catch up after they were hurt by two mistakes in the kicking game that allowed Miami to take a 14-0 lead. โ€œI was disappointed in the special teams and some of the things that went on there. โ€œIt changed the momentum.โ€SPECIALMost lopsided of all was the special teams matchup. Jakeem Grant, the NFL leader in punt return yards, helped the Dolphinsโ€™ field position with three runbacks for 57 yards.

Tua approaches injury anniversary grateful to be with Miami

As he walked off the field after taking a knee on the final play, Tagovailoa presented the ball to Flores. Flores said Tagovailoa appears to have regained all of his mobility, and might be even shiftier than he was at Alabama. โ€œAs a rookie, you donโ€™t know what you donโ€™t know,โ€ Flores said. And while his NFL career is off to a good start, his perspective is different from before the hip injury. โ€œI donโ€™t know if I'll ever be my old self,โ€ he said.

A look at who's up and who's down at midpoint of NFL season

Midway through the 2020 season, performance has altered perception all around the NFL. Hereโ€™s a look at whoโ€™s up and whoโ€™s down:UPDALVIN COOK: While running backs have generally been devalued during this pass-happy era, Cook is showing the impact a big-play back can make. He leads the NFL with 858 yards and 12 touchdowns despite missing one game with an injury. Heโ€™s the first NFL player with at least 50 catches, 600 yards receiving and eight touchdown receptions over his first six games of a season.

(AP Photo/Ron Jenkins)The AFC doesnโ€™t lack for drama or star power even though Tom Brady has taken his talents to Davis Beach. WEST: The Chiefs (8-1) are still the class of the conference despite a hiccup against the resurgent Raiders (5-3), who won 40-32 at Arrowhead Stadium on Oct. 11. Mahomes became the fastest quarterback in NFL history to reach 100 TD passes, doing it in 40 games, four fewer than Dan Marino. The Broncos (3-5) have been waylaid by injuries and COVID-19 opt-outs, exposures and infections and Drew Lock went 45 drives without a TD pass.

(Margaret Bowles via AP)When the Dolphins leave the oceanfront and head to the desert to play the Cardinals on Sunday, it will be about more than Tua vs. Kyler. Tua Tagovailoa, as touted as any signal caller coming out of college in years, will make his second start for Miami. Henry has eight rushing touchdowns, finding the end zone in five straight games. The Patriots will try to avoid losing five straight games for the first time since 1995.

Voting, activism replace practice, games in US sports world

โ€œBut I donโ€™t have to agree with it.โ€And thatโ€™s absolutely fine, said Ish Smith, the Wizards guard who signed Pittmanโ€™s cap. โ€œWhen I played, players and coaches were never โ€” maybe not never; rarely โ€” asked about politics and voting,โ€ Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. Itโ€™s an environment that led Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal, Tennessee Titans linebacker Will Compton, NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace and others to proudly note they were voting for the first time. And led WNBA players Tamika Catchings and Chiney Ogwumike to sign up to be poll workers. And led Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Chris Paul to join nearly 2,500 people on a march to a voting site in North Carolina.

Big plays help Dolphins beat Rams 28-17 in Tua's 1st start

He entertained those along the bench by dancing after the Miami Dolphins' first touchdown, and greeted 5-foot-6 Jakeem Grant with a leaping chest bump to the face mask after another score. The early 33-yard scoring drive was the Dolphins' longest, as the big lead allowed them to keep Tagovailoa mostly under wraps. We tried to make him see a lot of different things, and for the most part it worked.โ€The Rams' defense received little support from their offense, though. โ€œWe heard a lot about the Rams' defense," Miami safety Eric Rowe said, โ€œbut they had to worry about our defense.โ€INJURIESTwo-time Rams Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey became ill before the game and didnโ€™t play. ANTHEMFifteen Rams players knelt during โ€œThe Star-Spangled Banner.โ€ The Dolphins stayed in the locker room during the national anthem.

(AP Photo/Charles Krupa)MIAMI โ€“ The Miami Dolphins' transition to Tua Tagovailoa didnโ€™t start the way coach Brian Flores intended, and deposed quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said the surprising timing left him heartbroken. โ€œIf he says Tua is the man to lead us, weโ€™re going to go with it.โ€Fitzpatrick, in his second season with his eighth NFL team, has been characteristically inconsistent this year. He has made an impact on Tua and a lot of other players on this team. The cancellation of offseason drills and exhibition games because of the coronavirus slowed his NFL development, and two weeks ago, Flores said Tagovailoa wasn't ready to start.

Dolphins turn up heat on Jets and embattled Gase, 24-0

The Jets (0-6) became the NFL's only winless team and continued their worst start since 1996, increasing the heat on embattled second-year coach Adam Gase. The Dolphins blanked the Jets for the first time since the January 1983 AFC championship game, which they won 14-0. The Dolphins' only third-down conversion came on a completion by Tagovailoa, who went 2 for 2 for 9 yards. After the game, Tagovailoa spent about several minutes sitting alone on the field and on his phone with his parents. ANTHEMRunning back Ty Jackson was the only player kneeling for the Jets during โ€œThe Star-Spangled Banner.โ€The Dolphins stayed in the locker room.

Not yet Tua time: Fitzpatrick to remain Dolphins' starter

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (14) looks to pass the ball during the first half of an NFL football game against the Seattle Seahawks, Sunday, Oct. 4, 2020 in Miami Gardens, Fla. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee)MIAMI โ€“ Ryan Fitzpatrick will remain the Miami Dolphinsโ€™ starting quarterback for at least another week, further delaying the NFL debut of Tua Tagovailoa. The Dolphins announced Tuesday on Twitter that Fitzpatrick will get the nod Sunday at San Francisco. Against the Seahawks, Miami settled for field goals on five consecutive scoring drives, but Gailey declined to blame Fitzpatrick. โ€œHeโ€™s one play away from going in to play,โ€ Gailey said. โ€œHeโ€™s a rookie who hasnโ€™t played a preseason game or been in a game at all.

NFL rallies around Patriots' White after father's death

I hope I can be as good of a father to you as my father was to my brother and I!โ€ White wrote. James White found out about the crash prior to the Patriots' matchup at Seattle on Sunday night and was inactive for the game. In the days since, his teammates and scores of players and coaches around the NFL have voiced condolences for White both publicly and on social media. But Patriots teammate Matt Slater said everyone understands that football is secondary for White right now.

Coach: Message in Dolphins' video is 'we can all do better'
