The Miami Dolphins are 3-0. Strip away everything else and that's all that should matter at this moment to them and their fans. It has been a long time since there was this much justifiable excitement for that franchise. Celebrate it.
For those who aren't emotionally invested, it's worth taking a closer look under the hood.
The Dolphins are undeniably better this season. They've been adding talent for the past few years and it's finally paying off. They're probably a playoff team. Through the years, 76 percent of teams that start 3-0 make the playoffs, and it's easier now since the playoffs expanded to 14 teams in the 2020 season.
