At the end of October, the Miami Dolphins were 1-7. They’d lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons. They were unquestionably bad. In early December, the Dolphins have a path to the playoffs. Seriously. The craziest NFL story that hasn’t gotten enough attention yet is happening in Miami.
