I find this interesting:

Gase clearly likes this kid, and here's something I didn't know about the end of the Buffalo game - from Mando:
"What we saw from Fales that last game -- including the interception -- was on its face unremarkable. His 29 completions in 42 attempts for 265 yards, one touchdown and the pick translated to an ordinary 83.9 quarterback rating.
The interception with 56 seconds to play was a killer. It came as the Dolphins, on the Buffalo 48 yard line, were driving for what could have been the winning score against a team desperate to win to make the playoffs for the first time since 1999.
But the interception that seemingly turned Miami's attention to an offseason in which the Dolphins admitted they wanted quarterback help, actually helped Gase circle back to Fales.
Because that interception wasn't on Fales.
On that play, amid the chaos of a late rally, veteran receiver Kenny Stills found himself before the ball was snapped telling relatively new tight end A.J. Derby what to do on the play. But then when the ball was snapped, Stills failed to carry out his own assignment.
He was supposed to run a seam route inside the safety. He cut out instead.
Fales placed the ball exactly where Stills was supposed to break. On the inside. But the next guy in that area Stills was supposed to occupy was a Buffalo safety Jordan Poyer.
Interception."
