The Miami Dolphins have dropped four games in a row, losing to the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Chargers, Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers in consecutive weeks.
For a team that was once the top seed in the conference, a fall to the eighth seed while clawing to stay in is a tough realization.
However, members of the organization, such as running back Jeff Wilson Jr., still have faith that this team can make some noise in the postseason.
“Oh, we’re a contender,” Wilson said. “We’re a top dog, not only in this division or conference, but in the league. And obviously, when your record and the wins and losses don’t reflect that, it’s frustrating because it’s more so not only that we’re not good enough, it’s things that are almost self-inflicted – like we do it to ourselves, almost. So when you have it like that, it makes it even more painful, because you’re just a detail or two away. Especially coming towards this time of the year, details matter.”
Miami has two weeks to prove that they belong in the playoffs for the first time since 2016. They haven’t looked great, but they’re always just one big play away at all times, and those are possible because of the number of playmakers that they have on the roster.
