Why Rasul Douglas is 'definitely getting fined' by Dolphins teammates

When Minkah Fitzpatrick got his hands on a Tyler Shough pass Sunday, the Miami Dolphins safety took it back 100 yards for points. Cornerback Rasul Douglas can't say the same.

While the second quarter interception from Douglas erased a scoring opportunity for the New Orleans Saints and set up a Dolphins field goal before halftime, his teammates poked fun of the veteran corner for not taking it back for a touchdown.

"He's definitely getting fined. It was a great play, but he's definitely getting fined for not scoring on that play," Fitzpatrick told reporters with a smile after the game. "Within the DB room, we have a fine system. He's definitely getting fined for that one. ... I dapped him up, but said 'you're getting fined.' You know what I'm saying? Because you need as many points as we could get."

When De'Von Achane was asked about the pivotal pick two recorded by Fitzpatrick, he also made a point to mention Douglas not scoring.

"He for sure did better than Rasul," Achane said. "I think for sure it was going through his mind not trying to get caught because at halftime we all had something to say to Rasul."

Since the Fitzpatrick pick won't count in the stat sheet, the Dolphins now have four interceptions this season. Their last pick six came in the 2023 season.
