MIAMI -- History shows the Miami Dolphins must beat at least two of their next three opponents to have any hope of making the playoffs. At 1-4 and on a four-game losing streak, anything less puts them in a predicament only one team in modern NFL history has recovered from.
Since 1990, 117 teams began their season 2-6 and only one made the playoffs -- Washington (7-9) in 2021. It's added pressure for the Dolphins, who face the Jacksonville Jaguars (0-5) in London on Sunday (9:30 a.m. ET, CBS), then return home in Week 7 to face the Atlanta Falcons (2-3).
