By Andrew McCartyShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberThe Miami Dolphins enjoyed a trip to Madrid with a 16-13 win over the Washington Commanders as the team sails off into its bye week.
“They fought for belief, and now they’ve been awarded real belief based on performance and results,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said after the team's second-straight win. “So, I think we’ll be excited to play our next game. We need the time off. We definitely wish we could play, our locker room would probably want to play tomorrow even though they’re a little beat up.”
Miami continues to fight for a potential playoff berth, winning its second straight game and third in the last four after starting the season 1-6. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows for the Dolphins - at least not star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.

As the Dolphins head off into their bye week, the NFL announced its punishments for the Week 11 games.
"To protect players from unnecessary risk and preserve competitive balance and game integrity, the NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed on a set of game-related rules violations that may result in accountability measures," the league said in a memo before announcing the punishments.
Fitzpatrick was hit with two different fines - one for a hip-drop tackle and another for a low block. In total the star safety was fined $29,561.
