As the Miami Dolphins fall to 2-6 with their 30-27 loss to division rival, the Buffalo Bills , it seems that all hope is lost for a 2024 playoff run. Judging by their record, that seems to be the case, but their play against the Bills suggests otherwise. Though the Dolphins have lost both games with Tua Tagovailoa back in the lineup, the offense looks as good as ever.
Not as flashy, or explosive as the 70-point Denver Broncos game, but as efficient and balanced as their fans could hope for. The Dolphins have never been able to contain Josh Allen without some help from the Jimmy Dean sun in Miami cooking the Bills sideline, and Sunday was no different. As true as that is, Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins’ offense was just as dominant, and if they got the ball back for a two-minute drill, I’d bet my house that they would’ve won the game or at least sent it into overtime.
The narrative of the Dolphins offense being back has stuck with the media in regards to this week’s rankings. A more favorable matchup against Mathew Stafford , for the sole reason that he’s not super athletic, could result in the Dolphins’ biggest win of the year and could spring them into a winning streak over the next four games. I’m just saying, it’s not off the board and most of the media isn’t ready to write them off either.
I know last week I said that the season was on its last legs, but those legs still haven’t completely withered away yet. Record-wise, the season looks as good as do.
