Dolphins Playoff Hopes On Life Support After Embarrassing 41-17 Loss In Minnesota

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.
