MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The tank got stuck in the mud on Sunday afternoon. As the Miami Dolphins (1-7) celebrated their first win by dousing coach Brian Flores with a postgame Gatorade bath, some proponents of the team losing games in order to secure the No. 1 overall pick were left wondering whether it was worth it.
Sunday's win definitely hurt the Dolphins' chances at the top pick, especially with the 0-8 Cincinnati Bengals lingering in the winless wings. Yet what that first win did for Miami players and coaches makes it worth it.
