It's difficult not to relish the moment and be imprisoned by it if you're a Miami Dolphins fan. After a 1-6 start and the team parting ways with GM Chris Grier, all indications were that this team would pack it in for 2025. Roll over. More or less give up.
But no! The Fins are back and rolling, baby! A 3-1 stretch and two straight wins have Miami clinging to playoff life at 4-7 entering the Week 12 bye.
All those good vibes aside, though, this idle time offers a time to reflect on the bigger picture.
