DAVIE (CBSMiami/AP) — It’s funny how much things can change in a year.
Last season, November ended with the Miami Dolphins riding a six-game winning streak on the way to their first playoff berth since 2008.
Now the franchise is headed in the opposite direction, the outlook bleak with a month still to go in Adam Gase’s second season as coach.
The Dolphins’ five-game losing streak is their longest since 2011, near the end of the Tony Sparano era. Gase’s pilloried predecessor, Joe Philbin, never endured such a dismal stretch.
But Gase said the Dolphins (4-7) have the talent to win and can still turn things around, beginning Sunday against woeful Denver (3-8).
