The Miami Dolphins don’t have the most threatening of offenses in the league. They rank just 22nd in points per game (21.7) and 10th in yards per play (5.9). Their running game is average, and their quarterbacks just aren’t very good.
Despite that, Miami’s offense does pose a real threat to the Detroit Lions, their Week 7 opponent. Last week, the Dolphins obliterated the Chicago Bears defense, which was Football Outsiders’ No. 1 defense in the league through five weeks according to their DVOA metric. Miami put up 541 yards of offense and 31 points against Chicago, blindsiding their way to a 31-28 overtime victory.
