MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — After Buffalo beat Miami nearly a month ago, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said it was a valuable learning experience that his young team could use against tough competition later in the season.McDaniel repeated those words after Sunday’s road loss to the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles.“I kind of knew that going into the game that it was going to be that type of atmosphere,” McDaniel said, “and I think that’s very important for our team, being on the younger side, to experience. Those are critical. You have to feel what it’s like to play such a good team on the road.”Miami will need to find a way to win such games at some point this season if it wants to be a title contender.The AFC East-leading Dolphins have played two teams with winning records this season — the Eagles and the Bills — and have lost both games by double digits.They scored 20 and 17 points against Buffalo and Philadelphia, respectively, which is well below thei...

With Israel still barring entry of fuel, the U.N. said its distribution of aid would grind to a halt within days when it can no longer fuel its trucks.
