The Dolphins looked unstoppable with five-straight wins and most were expecting another dub last Sunday against the Broncos. It is easy to overlook a team’s issues, especially when they aren’t the center of attention.
Miami’s game in Denver, a 20-13 loss, shouldn’t be viewed as a cakewalk — at least in hindsight. The Dolphins have the league’s best first-quarter team with an average of 8.7 points scored in the game’s first 15 minutes.
The Dolphins were riding a win streak because Brian Flores and his coaching staff created a game plan that forced opposing offenses to throw the ball and force errors.
