MIAMI (AP) — Ninety minutes up the Florida Turnpike, a restaurant in Fort Pierce advertises its hours: “We take Sundays off, just like the Dolphins.”
In South Florida and beyond, Miami’s NFL team is again the butt of jokes. They’re laughing in Fort Lauderdale, Fort Pierce and probably Fort Collins.
Another punchline of a score could come Sunday when the Dolphins (1-4) play host to the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1).
The Dolphins are one-touchdown underdogs at home, for good reason.
Their only victory came in overtime against winless Cleveland, and in two games since, they’ve been outscored 52-24.
