DAVIE, Fla. -- Somehow, the Miami Dolphins fit a full season’s worth of adversity into the past couple of months.
It began in the summer with a rash of injuries that included losing starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill, starting middle linebacker Raekwon McMillan and 2016 interception leader Tony Lippett for the season. It continued in Week 1 of the regular season when Hurricane Irma devastated the state of Florida and displaced the Dolphins for nine days on the West Coast.
Miami’s latest challenge? Avoiding jet lag.
This week the Dolphins will become the NFL’s only team to play three consecutive games in three different time zones.
