If this Miami Dolphins team earns a playoff berth, you’ll find one of the major reasons in an obvious place, but a place few choose to look.
Go beyond the likes of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, left tackle Terron Armstead, cornerback Xavien Howard, defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, edge rusher Bradley Chubb and the other starters.
Look at guys such as Brandon Shell, an injury replacement at right tackle, cornerbacks Keion Crossen and Kader Kohou, linebacker Duke Riley, wide receiver Trent Sherfield and players of that ilk.
