The Miami Dolphins have continued their slip to the bottom of the league with a 1-7 record following yet another loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, according to USA TODAY writer Nate Davis’ weekly power rankings.
Brian Flores’ team has fallen to 30th of the 32 teams in this week’s rankings after being 29th last week. Their position is understandable with only the 1-7 Texans and 0-8 Lions behind them.
The Dolphins have been a laughing stock for most of the season, but they did put up a fight against the Bills this past week that showed maybe a glimmer of promise before giving up 23 points in the second half.
Here’s what Davis wrote about Miami:
“They’ve got the worst defense in the league and have run the ball fewer than anyone else. So why do we keep asking Brian Flores about QB Tua Tagovailoa? Maybe it’s time to broker a trade for Khalil Mack … or at least Larry Csonka.”
With the Texans on the schedule for Week 9, the Dolphins at least have an opponent they have a chance of contending with. If they lose this game, especially if Davis Mills starts, this will be their worst loss of the season.
