The Miami Dolphins did not commit a turnover in Sunday's 14-9 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
That broke the NFL record for fewest turnovers through 14 games, the length of an NFL season from 1961 through 1977. The New England Patriots last year had 11 giveaways through their first 14 games.

Miami also is on pace to become the seventh team to average under one turnover per game. They're averaging 0.71 turnovers. The NFL record was set by the 1990 New York Giants, who committed 0.88 turnovers a game in Bill Parcells' last season as their head coach.
But the Elias Sports Bureau uncovered another bit of information that's even more amazing.
The Dolphins have not committed multiple turnovers in any game this year and are working on a streak of 17 straight games with no more than one turnover.
No, the startling part isn't that quarterbacks Cleo Lemon and John Beck played some of those games.
What's most remarkable is that 17 games are the NFL record by a mile.
The team that came closest to stringing together that many games without multiple giveaways? The Indianapolis Colts, who went 11 straight games in 2006 and 2007.

I didn't realize we already had the multiple turnover record 6 weeks ago..
That's amazing, I think I'm more suprised Cameron's team didn't have multiple turnovers in their last 3 games.. But wasn't that around when Parcells got hired? Man, no one turns it over when Parcells is around, even last years crappy team..

GOD I LOVE THE PHINS.. just another stat to throw at people that say we still suck...

we also still lead the league in turnover ratio with -12

I love the fact that we can say that this team is the best ever in the history of the NFL at something.

I don't think anyone thinks we "suck" I think people just don't think we're a top level team...and we're not. I love how much we've improved, I just hope this team continues to take this thing as serious next year and the year after that and the year after that. I hope TS is the real deal and we will reamin on top for a long time.

Shouldn't the turnover ratio be positive if we are leading since it's in our favor or am i missing something?
