Dolphins Preparing To Face Cardinals Looking To Keep Playoff Hopes Alive

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – The Miami Dolphins’ six-game winning streak came to an abrupt end last weekend thanks to a blowout suffered in Baltimore.

Now the Dolphins will have to begin a new streak if they want to make the playoffs for the first time since 2008.

Miami will be facing the Arizona Cardinals, a team that has greatly underachieved this season compared so their preseason expectations.

Led by second-year running back David Johnson, the Cardinals offense will be a tough test for the Dolphins defense that was completely thrashed a week ago by the Ravens.

Miami’s defense is hoping to have middle linebacker Kiko Alonso in the lineup on Sunday.
