Given the current state of the AFC East, it’s a very good time for the New England Patriots to be playing good football again.
The Miami Dolphins have become one of the laughingstock franchises in the NFL, with fans now just waiting for head coach Mike McDaniel to get shown the door. There’s even chatter emerging on whether the team will consider benching $212 million quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
You have to give the Dolphins this, though — at least they have a win in 2025.
The same can’t be said for the sorry franchise that has (mercifully) replaced the Patriots as the AFC East’s bottom-feeder; that would be the New York Jets.
