MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Dolphins face another must-lose situation as a late-season stall has kept them for the No. 1 draft choice in April.
The Dolphins (3-11) desperately need a franchise quarterback such as Joe Burrow to anchor their rebuilding project. But they’ll be eliminated from contention for the top pick if they win at home Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals (1-13).
Rookie coach Brian Flores remains focused on building a winning culture, however, so the Dolphins will do their best to hurt their draft prospects.
“I’ve said this all year: We’re going to try to win every game,” Flores said Monday.
