MINNEAPOLIS (CBSMiami) – The Miami Dolphins arrived in Minnesota riding high.
Fresh off last week’s miracle win over the New England Patriots, the Dolphins came into Sunday’s game against the Vikings with a 7-6 record, tied for the AFC’s final playoff spot.
Then the game started.
Minnesota scored three touchdowns on their first three drives, helping the Dolphins tie a franchise record for largest first quarter deficit at 21 points.
Surprisingly, considering the absolute disaster of a start, Miami was able to battle back and make a game of it thanks to a pair of big plays.
