CARLSBAD, Calif. -- The Miami Dolphins were in unfamiliar territory Monday. And thats on two fronts.Miami remained in southern California after defeating the San Diego Chargers on Sunday 31-24 for their initial road win of the season. The Dolphins will practice in north San Diego County in preparation for this weeks game against the Los Angeles Rams.The Dolphins (5-4) are also nestled above .500 for the first time in rookie coach Adam Gases short tenure. A four-game winning streak has compensated for a 1-4 start, and, just maybe, surging Miami can make the postseason.Ive never, ever been one to really talk about (that) in my career, Gase said. Ive always been worried about the week we are involved in.I think if you do things right enough times, you get opportunities to keep playing. So that is how I look at it. More times than not, when you talk about it, that is when it doesnt happen.Gase did speak on Branden Albert. The left tackle exited Sundays game after dislocating his left wrist, but returned while wearing a brace.Were still going through a little bit of our medical process to figure out what exactly is going to happen as far as the exact diagnosis, and if we are going to be able to get him back this week, Gase said. We got to go through some stuff still. It is swollen right now, so we just have to see how the week progresses.Albert didnt seem compromised playing with the injury. But Gase said Albert is seeing a hand specialist and his status isnt clear.We have to go through all those little steps just to make sure that we handle everything the right way, Gase said. So if he can go, its for the entire . the rest of the season.Miami is in the playoff conversation thanks to the improved play of quarterback Ryan Tannehill, running back Jay Ajayis emergence, and a secondary that forced four turnovers Sunday.Gase sensed his team had turned a corner about a month ago. In the run-up to beating the Steelers 30-15 on Oct. 16, Gase saw his squad in a new light.That Pittsburgh week I felt something different, Gase said. I felt like the defense was really playing well, but we were struggling obviously, but that week felt different. There was some confidence there, especially at the end of the week, that we were going to play well.That was the push-off point for a four-game run that has the Dolphins two games shy of the AFC East-leading New England Patriots (7-2).(Gase) just stayed consistent with the message to do it right and focus on the details, linebacker Jelani Jenkins said. I think its really, really been a trust in the system. Focus on the details and try to treat every week as a new week.Added Gase: Ive seen a lot of veteran players take control of our team. Ive seen some guys that maybe we did not think were going to be huge contributors taking leadership-type roles and all of a sudden they are vaulted into a position where they are making plays. Its been great to see guys step forward and make plays and lead.Will it all lead to the playoffs?I think that is way too far ahead to think about right now, safety Isa Abdul-Quddus said. Were still in middle of season ... we need to focus on the Rams and to get that win.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLNew Balance Wholesale Uk . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second.

I led from grass to finish, Hamilton joked afterwards after winning by eight seconds. Rosberg was second after overcoming two separate tussles with Red Bulls Max Verstappen to keep the title race in his hands.The German will clinch his maiden world crown if he wins the Brazilian GP on November 13.Daniel Ricciardo finished fifth but was promoted to third several hours after the race had concluded after penalties for first Max Verstappen, the original podium finisher, and then Sebastian Vettel.Verstappen had taken third on the road but stewards imposed a five-second time penalty while he was waiting to take to the podium after an extraordinary sequence of events in the races closing laps involving the Dutchman, Vettel and Ricciardo. Paul di Resta looks at why Max Verstappen picked up a 5-second penalty, which meant that Ferraris Sebastian Vettel was promoted to third place After a mid-race lunge on Rosberg resulted in him running off the track, Verstappens challenge for second faded and he instead came under attack from Ferraris Vettel, whose weekend came alive following a long first stint on soft tyres.Verstappen hits back at frustrated guy VettelWith three laps to go, Vettel tried to overtake the Red Bull into Turn One but Verstappen ran wide and across the grass, holding position ahead of the Ferrari. With the Dutchman deciding not to cede position, despite his race engineer suggesting he do so, an increasingly irate Vettel started ranting on the radio that the Red Bull driver should give him the place.He has to let me go! yelled Vettel. He has to let me go! Move, move for f*** sake!The four-time champion was also heard uttering an expletive in relation to FIA race director Charlie Whiting.Verstappen crossed the line in third and headed for the podium holding room alongside Hamilton and Rosberg, but the stewards acted swiftly and handed him a five-second penalty. That dropped him to fifth behind team-mate Ricciardo. Ferraris Sebastian Vettel became increasingly frustrated and let rip a barrage of expletive laden radio messages throughout the Mexican GP However, in one final twist late on Sunday night, that eventually became fourth when the stewards added 10 seconds to Vettels race time for a tangle with Ricciardo. The former team-mates made contact at Turn Four while the Ferrari remained bottled up behind Verstappen. Ricciardo dived to the inside, with Vettel moving to cover.Vettel dropped behind both Red Bulls to fifth, with Ricciardo third and Verstappen fourth.The Red Bull duo hit out at Vettels driving and conduct after the race. The German had pulled alongside Verstappens car on the slow-down lap to wave his finger in the Dutchmans direction, while he also said over the radio he wanted to hit somebody.Hee did what everyone has been complaining about - moving under braking, Ricciardo told Sky F1.dddddddddddd Hes smiling now but for me he doesnt deserve to be on the podium. He kept on closing the door under braking and in the end I had nowhere to go.Verstappen added: Its ridiculous what he did. Daniel was alongside him and he just turned into him. Then he is shouting and l dont know how many times he is using very bad language. I think he needs to go back to school. After a dramatic end to the race, Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo feels that Sebastian Vettel shouldve been penalised In the championship battle, two more second places to Hamilton in Brazil and Abu Dhabi remain good enough for Rosberg to become world champion for the first time.But Rosberg now knows a race victory in Sao Paulo in a fortnights time will settle the title fight in his favour and avoid a nail-biting final-race showdown.Ricciardo: Hamilton should have had penalty tooLewis has been too fast this weekend, said Rosberg. I just have to accept second place.Meanwhile, Kimi Raikkonen finished a distant sixth in the second Ferrari after losing ground on a two-stop strategy, with Force India coming out on top overall in a tight battle with Constructors Championship rivals Williams.
