I know it's silly but it's been so long since we've been able to objectively consider Miami a legit team:

A fifth straight win that came out of nowhere. Seriously. The Dolphins offense was nowhere to be found through 3 1/2 quarters in a rain-soaked Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Sunday. Much like one day of rain in drought-weary SoCal gives climate-change deniers an excuse, Miami's absent pass offense was similarly obscured by a late surge. Jarvis Landry fueled the first scoring drive, while DeVante Parker owned the second.

I think we're better than the Chiefs, Lions, Redskins and Giants :idk:

The Raiders aren't great either

I'm pretty shocked we are ranked that high.

Bad omen if you ask me.

11. Miami Dolphins

2016 record: 6-4 | Week 11 ranking: 17

The Dolphins have won five straight overall, but each of their past four wins have come after trailing in the fourth quarter. How's this for Florida ties? According to Elias, Tim Tebow's 2011 Denver squad was the last team to win four straight despite trailing in the fourth of each game.

Dolphins They are playing good football, winning five straight. They are definitely in the playoff race. 2 6-4-0

We couldn't stop Tim Tebow. Through the first 3 quarters he was one for seven. We couldn't stop Tim Tebow. It was baby jesus looking down from heaven.

Decent Ranking, but no mention of Tannehill of course in the blurb. That was a heck of a 4th quarter comeback.

I like it...I dont think the fins are better than the falcons though but I think they can beat any of the other teams

Can't always be viewed as the underdog. Win enough games and people start getting expectations.

The injuries piling up are definitely a weakness going forward

I think Oakland is overrated. I've seen them now three times this season and their defense is pretty terrible. I did feel like the Texans got hosed by the officials last night as well.

But, their record is what it is, so good for them. I do like Jack Del Rio. Very underrated coach.
