DMN Blog: Game balls

Here's the guys who got game balls:

FS Ken Hamlin (right): Had a pick and a nice return to set up a field goal. Made six tackles and didn't miss any, a point of emphasis after his poor performance against the Giants. "He felt like he needed to tackle better and he did," Wade Phillips said.

SS Roy Williams: Had a late interception and made several third-down plays that forced the Dolphins to punt. "Roy had the kind of game we felt Roy can play and will continue to play," Phillips said.

K Nick Folk: Made all three field goal attempts, including a 47-yarder in the dirt that extended the lead to 10 early in the fourth quarter. "It was a pressure kick for him," Phillips said. "Although it wasn't quote the game-winner at the end of the game, he knew it, we knew it and the team knew it was a big kick for us."

Marc Colombo: Graded the highest among offensive linemen who paved the way for 166 rushing yards.

WR Patrick Crayton: Critical 49-yard punt return after suffering an open dislocation of his right pinky finger.

CB Anthony Henry: Two interceptions, an onside kick recovery and graded 97 percent. "I don't know many DBs that ever grade 97 percent," Phillips said.
