Playing a winless West Coast team with no pass rush that’s traveled 2,500 miles for a 1 p.m. East Coast kickoff, the Dolphins should be 3-0 by sundown Sunday after spanking the Oakland Raiders.
Do you know how long it’s been since the Dolphins were 3-0? Not as long as you’d think — 2013, under Joe Philbin (or, as former Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder called him, “Lil’ Queasy”). They quickly found their level, lost four in a row and completed the disintegration by losing their final two games to finish 8-8.
When was the last time the Dolphins were 3-0 and finished with a winning record?
