The Miami Dolphins were, once again, unable to secure their ninth victory of the season on Sunday, as they were defeated by the New England Patriots in a New Year’s Day afternoon matchup at Gillette Stadium.
Mike McDaniel’s team has now lost five contests in a row, losing to the Patriots, Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Chargers and San Francisco 49ers in consecutive weeks. This has made things much more difficult for them to make the postseason, something that seemed to be a given just five weeks ago.
On Tuesday, just two days after the loss, we take a look at Pro Football Focus’ grades to see how the advanced analytics determined the Dolphins did on Sunday against their AFC East rival.
