Dolphins' defensive track record bodes well in slowing RB David Johnson

DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins' defense has been far from elite this season, but there is something about facing elite running backs that has brought the best out of Miami.

Miami (7-5) will look to continue that trend on Sunday when it hosts the Arizona Cardinals (5-6-1) in a big game with playoff implications for both teams. No opponent has been able to corral Cardinals star running back David Johnson, who has gone 12 consecutive games with at least 100 yards or more from scrimmage.

The Dolphins' defensive track record this season offers hope.
