Who’s Remaining
There are no extra “really should gain” online games left. The final a few games are versus Dallas, Baltimore — each with double-digit wins — and the now purple-warm Costs.
Get paid the Crown
It has been 15 a long time considering the fact that the Dolphins past won the division. Buffalo has gained it for the past three years. Even though it seemed like it may possibly be an uncomplicated highway to the title a couple weeks back, the Expenditures are maintaining the strain.

No Tyreek, Enter Waddle
Tyreek Hill sat out the video game against the Jets with an damage, and Jaylen Waddle took comprehensive advantage. He experienced the 3rd most yards in a video game in his job,142, and scored on a 60-yard throw from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Veteran D Shines
Led by Bradley Chubb, 3 sacks, Christian Wilkins and Zach Seiler, the protection had a area working day shutting out the Jets.

Raheem the Dream
If you tried using to produce up a motion picture script centered on Raheem Mostert’s occupation, some would say it is much too unbelievable to be manufactured.

This time, he has scored a franchise-history 20 touchdowns. In the Super Bowl period, which goes again to the 1960s, Mostert is just the 3rd undrafted participant to score 20 touchdowns in a period. It could not come about to a far better person. Mostert is a course act by way of and by way of.
Adversity is Possibility
It is Mike McDaniel’s favored declaring, and it applies to the Dolphins appropriate now because of to their personal injury condition.

In opposition to the Jets, both of those commencing safeties missed the video game with injuries, as did MVP applicant Tyreek Hill, star cornerback Xavian Howard and offensive guard Robert Hunt. Oh, defensive sign caller Jerome Baker is harm, much too. Give Liam Eichenberg a large amount of credit rating. He was in a strolling boot most of the 7 days but toughed it out and started at centre. Security Brandon Jones arrived up with two interceptions, and Duke Riley was stable in Baker’s spot. Veteran Eli Apple experienced a handful of go breakups at corner and Jaylen Waddle experienced his best video game of the time. It is a prolonged checklist of Dolphins that stuffed in the missing positions admirably from the Jets.
