MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — 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. They’ve outscored opponents 384-266 with an offense that leads the NFL in passing, yards per play, yards per rush and red-zone efficiency.

What does the second-year head coach think of that?

“Call me when it’s a 13-game season,” he said. “That’s all nice, but we have a job to do today. If we shortchange and are worried about anything other than the Tennessee Titans when we’re game planning … then all those conversations and stories literally don’t matter at all.”

Hosting a playoff game is the Dolphins’ long-term goal as they try to close in on their first division title since winning the AFC East in 2008. So this week’s only focus has been beating the visiting Tennessee Titans (4-8) come Monday night.
