MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Teams that are trying to lose aren’t supposed to win. Someone forgot to tell the Miami Dolphins (and the New York Jets) last Sunday. The Fins put one in the win column with a 26-18 take-down of Gang Green, which really should be changed to ‘Gangrene,’ given their rotten state and week-to-week decomposition.
With the Week 9 win, the Dolphins elevate their record to 1-7 and move out of the AFC East cellar, thanks to the tiebreaker. Ryan Fitzpatrick has shown flashes of Fitzmagic since taking over for Josh Rosen back in Week 6.
