The Miami Dolphins started the year by converting 6 of 14 third downs in a win against the New England Patriots. Additionally, the offense found itself in third-and-short on seven of those 14 attempts.
It was clear that Mike McDaniel built an offense that was determined to stay ahead of the chains — but that was taken to a different level against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
The Dolphins converted 7 of 11 third down attempts and now rank sixth in third down conversion rate at 52 percent.
