Heading into the Week 14 BYE, the Miami Dolphins had all the momentum.
The team won five straight games, and all homerism aside, they looked pretty darn good in doing so. Perhaps, too good—and then, everything came crashing down (or so it felt) this past week when the Dolphins placed not one, not two, but three of their running backs on injured reserve.
However, the most significant blow came when the team announced rookie safety Jevon Holland would be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Now, that's not a slight against the trio of backs; Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed, or Phillip Lindsay—but for years now, we've heard how running backs are a dime a dozen—AND THIS TEAM, MORE THAN ANY, seems to live and die by that motto.
