The Miami Dolphins are on a roll. The team stands at 6-3, their best record in the first 9 games since 2001. Not only that, but we are on a 5 game winning streak after starting the season 1-3. The team is doing great on all sides of the ball starting with the defense. The defense has been making game-changing plays every game helping the offense do their thing as well. Our special teams is also one of the best in the league with speedster Jakeem Grant returning punts and kickoffs, Jason Sanders, one of the best kickers in the NFL kicking field goals, and others making big plays such as linebacker Van Ginkel blocking a punt in last weeks 29-21 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Many people were anticipating last week's game in the battle of rookie quarterbacks. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was selected 5th in the NFL draft, while Justin Herbert was taken 6th in the NFL draft by the Los Angeles Chargers. Both quarterbacks seem like they may have a promising future, but in last week’s matchup, Tua’s dolphins were victorious. It was Herbert that made the mistake late in the game throwing a costly interception leading to a Dolphins touchdown.
Right now the Dolphins are a wild card team for the playoffs but are only .5 a game behind the division leaders, the Buffalo Bills. It will be a battle for the division this season, and I’m excited to see how it turns out, even though ESPN says the Dolphins only have a 21% chance to win the division. The Dolphins are looking like a threat though with their defense having a takeaway in 15 straight games, which is the most in the NFL, the special teams playing insanely well, and the offense doing what they need to and improving every game. I see the Dolphins making the playoffs for the first time since 2016, and even making it out of the first round for the first time since 2000. What do you think about this team?
Not only do the Dolphins look like playoff contenders, we have 4 players that are serious pro bowl contenders. I couldn't tell you the last time that happened.
ReplyDeleteYa I'm not really into football, but I follow a bunch of sports accounts on Instagram and it seems that the Dolphins are doing good. From what I recall they weren't such a great team the past few years, right?
