On today's episode of The Daily Hunt:

Players were clearly frustrated following Sunday's loss to Washington. Fans and the media joke and brush off the Dolphins as a bad team, but for the players who have spent their entire lives working to make it to the NFL, each week is a tougher pill to swallow.

McCain clearly doesn't want the Dolphins to tank away the season and doesn't want to be known as one of the worst teams in NFL history. 

“I think each guy feels their own independent feelings and different – there’s a lot of frustration in there," Ryan Fitzpatrick added after the game. "I’m disappointed that we didn’t get it in. I think obviously we all wanted it. We all had confidence in the play. It just felt like when we scored – when DeVante (Parker) made that catch – it felt like that was the right move for us at that time. And going for the win, we didn’t get it.” 

Fitzpatrick added that he doesn't know how the "Fitzmagic" in the fourth quarter will impact his position on the depth chart, but is willing to do whatever he can to best help the team. 

Kenyan Drake, who was the target on the game's final play, added that he agreed with the two-point play call and is determined to get better each week.

“We are a resilient bunch so, the situation that we had in the game when we were down by ‘X’ amount of points – everyone kind of knows the woes we have had in the second half throughout the season," Drake said. "For or us to come back and give our team something to make sure that we put ourselves in a position to win; that’s all you can ask for, to continue to improve on a week-to-week basis.”
