The five biggest positive surprises for the 2018 Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins started out very well in 2018 winning their first three games but since then have dropped five of seven. Still there are positives.

While the Miami Dolphins have not seen a lot of positives from this season, mainly because of injury after injury there are still some players who are making positive strides this season. It is easy to dwell on the negatives when there are plenty to examine but looking at the positives at least gives hope for the future. Not just for this season but beyond.

Since the start of the 2018 league new year the Dolphins have found themselves being criticized at almost every turn. From the trade of Jarvis Landry to the release of Ndamukong Suh and Jordan Phillips, the Dolphins entered the season as one of the teams that would finish near the bottom of the league. That hasn’t happened and instead, even at 5-5 they are still in the playoff chase.

How well the Dolphins perform coming out of their bye-week will have a lot to do with how they finish. Miami still faces the Patriots, the Bills twice, the Vikings, Colts, and Jaguars. It will be a tough push towards the post-season but one that could swing in their favor.

If these five players can continue their level of play and growth, it will be a lot easier.
