Miami Dolphins Must Fix Run Defense to Save Season

It seems like no matter what the Miami Dolphins do on defense, they just can't stop the run.

Week after week, their opponents are doing their best Hulkamania impersonation, running wild all over the Dolphins defense.

It started with 161 yards against the Washington Redskins in Week 1. That was the third-most by any defense in the opening game of the season, and it hasn't gotten much better. In fact, they've allowed the second-most rushing yards of any team in the NFL through Week 11, at an average of 126 rushing yards per game.

At this rate, the Dolphins will give up 2,218 rushing yards in 2015, which would be the most since the Dolphins' one-win 2007 season.
