Outsiders will point to the obvious when giving the reasons for the Dolphins’ 7-3 start and first-place position in the AFC East — quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, wide receiver Tyreek Hill and coach Mike McDaniel.
Insiders, however, will point to two other key contributors — left tackle Terron Armstead and cornerback Xavien Howard.
Put either player on an opposing team’s top player, sit back, and watch the show.
