DAVIE (CBSMiami/AP) — How about those Dolphins! The hometown team is off to a perfect start, which they know guarantees nothing.
Before now, the most recent season where the Dolphins started 2-0 ended up with them missing the playoffs. And the last time they started 0-2, they actually went to the postseason.
So starting with two wins — one of only seven NFL teams to do that this season, plus sitting alone atop the AFC East for good measure — obviously beats any alternative fate at this point in the season, though Dolphins coach Adam Gase wasn’t exactly spending time figuring out how to distribute playoff tickets on Monday.
