    Xavien Howard was one of the NFL's best players at causing turnovers in 2020. He was back at it Sunday to help the Dolphins preserve a victory to open this season.

    "Every game I feel like I have to make something happen for the team and give the ball to the offense. My mindset was get the ball out," said Howard, who led the league in interceptions in 2020. "We needed it and it was crucial. So I made it happen."

    Tua Tagovailoa threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle in the third quarter and Howard recovered the Damien Harris fumble with New England driving in the fourth to help the Miami Dolphins hold on for a 17-16 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
