The Miami Dolphins\u00a0played a hard-fought football game\u00a0in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers, and after the win, the team was riding that jubilation.<\/p>\n

Head coach Mike McDaniel handed out game balls in the locker room. He mentioned Jason Sanders going 5-for-5 on field goals, and he noted De’Von Achane’s 120 yards rushing and 70 yards receiving.<\/p>\n

Then Dolphins owner Stephen Ross stepped in.<\/p>\n

“We got one more game ball,” Ross said. McDaniel quipped, “We do?” as he looked around the room. Ross threw the ball to his head coach as he said, “Mike McDaniel.”<\/p>\n
