There was the suggestion the day after their season, right inside their locker room, that the Miami Dolphins had taken good steps toward something big because they took big steps toward beating the Buffalo Bills twice in final month.
“We took them right down to the end twice,’’ linebacker Jerome Baker said. “You want to win those, but we feel we’re getting to be in a good place now.”
It made sense then, and still does about the Dolphins being almost step-for-step with Buffalo. It’s what that conclusion means that’s needs adjusting after this weekend.
