Back in 2008, we saw the Dolphins win the AFC East after winning one game the previous seasons. Fast forward to now and the Patriots have dominated the division. The Patriots and Tom Brady just didn’t appear to be themselves this season and ended the regular season with an embarrassing loss to the Dolphins at home. They head into the playoffs as the third seed but could have been the second if they had won. One analyst believes the Dolphins are going to be a contender sooner, rather than later and could push the Patriots for the AFC East title.
