DAVIE (CBSMiami/AP) — While the Miami Dolphins haven’t had a winning season since 2008, their current campaign has been more difficult than usual for fans to swallow.
Tony Lippett is excited about Sunday’s game between the Dolphins and San Diego Chargers, and he might be the only one.
Both teams are in last place and eliminated from the playoff race, but the stakes are sizeable for Lippett, who might get his first NFL start.
The Dolphins’ rookie cornerback and fifth-round draft pick is especially raw because he played mostly receiver at Michigan State, but coaches like his potential and plan to give him an extensive audition against the Chargers.
