MIAMI — If you thought this year’s Miami Dolphins team was exempt from the franchise’s patented December collapse, think again.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw three fourth-quarter interceptions, and the Dolphins lost their Christmas Day game against the Green Bay Packers, 26-20, after leading, 20-10, deep in the first half on Sunday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium.
Miami (8-7) drops a fourth straight game and finishes December winless at 0-4. Its playoff odds, which have been held up by other teams’ losses despite the Dolphins’ own losing streak, decreased from 83 percent to 67 percent, according to FiveThirtyEight.
