Dolphins defense might be staring at NFL history for wrong reasons

The Miami Dolphins are allowing 159.3 rushing yards per game this season, comfortably the worst record in the NFL, but they have yet to give up any rushing records. That could change in Week 8 when they take on the Atlanta Falcons.

Through seven games, the Dolphins' defense has given up no less than 104 yards. They have also given up a season-high 239 to the Carolina Panthers. What makes that uglier is that it was done primarily by a backup.

Miami isn't going to play a backup this week. Falcons playmaker Bijan Robinson is one of the best running backs in the league, and it leaves the Dolphins' defense facing a nightmare.
