The Miami Dolphins are a band of merry misfits who are ringing in the holiday season with a soft Week 13 opponent after a bye to freshen up from their recent 3-1 stretch of improved play.
Things looked bleak when Miami lost six of seven to begin the 2025 campaign. Against all odds, the team roared back to at least fringe respectability. Can they keep it rolling off the bye, or will the 2-9 New Orleans Saints play spoiler?
Regardless of what happens from here, there are a lot of Dolphins players and coaches who've purchased tons of goodwill amid this latest hot streak.
