DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Chart the Miami Dolphins’ week-by-week point differential on a graph, and the trend suggests they’ll win their next game and beat teams by 50 points in December.
Don’t count on that.
The Dolphins (0-5) must play seven of their final 11 games on the road. They face one of their toughest challenges yet Sunday at AFC East rival Buffalo (4-1), a 16½-point favorite. And the quarterback situation is more muddled than ever, with journeyman backup Ryan Fitzpatrick’s stock rising and Josh Rosen struggling to keep the starting job.
Miami has lost successive games by 49 points, 43, 25, 20 and 1.
