Team Grades: Defense, Ground-And-Pound Proves To Be Winning Formula For Dolphins

By Abraham Gutierrez

With all the hoopla surrounding the possibility that Ryan Tannehill would be given more freedom offensively following the firing of Bill Lazor, the Miami Dolphins pulled off a little misdirection on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. Instead of coming out throwing, the Fins pounded the visitors into submission with the running game on their way to a much-needed, 15-13, victory at Sun Life Stadium. The win snaps Miami’s two-game skid, improving its season record to 5-7 on the year and, incredibly, head coach Dan Campbell & Co. remain mathematically alive for a playoff berth.
