If you’re like me when you woke up this morning, you felt like everything in your life is where it should be. Like I mentioned earlier in the article, things in this world need to be balanced and one of the ways you know life is in a good spot is when the Miami Dolphins are in the hunt. And 12 weeks into the season we can firmly state the 2021 Miami Dolphins are in the hunt for the postseason.
Now that’s what I’m talking about https://t.co/2sN8TIefAJ

I had a strong feeling that if the Dolphins won that this graphic would show Miami in the hunt. I wasn’t disappointed. Barely in the hunt is still in the hunt and the Dolphins have a chance to get even higher on that list.
All the teams in front of him will eat each other and others will lose games that they shouldn’t. All Miami has to do is not lose games they shouldn’t and then win some games they might not be favored in. Easy enough right?
In the next two weeks, the Dolphins will be favored at home against both New York teams. Hold serve, and you’ll be 7-7 with a bye and a Monday night game against the Trevor Siemian or Taysum Hill-led Saints. Then it’s the Derrick Henry-less Titans and then the Patriots at home. It’s unlikely but far from impossible for the Dolphins not to lose again this regular season. Let’s take it one game at a time and enjoy what we’re seeing every week. Have yourself a Monday.
By the Way- Perhaps the best thing that came out of Sunday’s victory and throttling of Cam newton was this…
Wow. 🤣😂😅🥲 The Miami Dolphins defense did that!!!pic.twitter.com/EC51uOFQg8
