The Miami Dolphins offense came back to life Sunday, but its revival wasn’t enough. The return of Tua Tagovailoa coincided with arguably the worst defensive showing of the year for the Dolphins and they fell to 2-5 with a 28-27 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Yet, the step in the right direction for the offense convinced some experts that the Dolphins deserve to climb a little higher in power rankings, despite their fifth loss in six games.
Here’s where experts currently rank the Dolphins:
- USA Today: 24th (last week: 24th)
- ESPN: 23rd (last week: 25th)
- NFL.com: 23rd (last week: 25th)
