The Miami Dolphins are now riding three consecutive wins and they’ve scored 34 points in back-to-back weeks.
Their most recent performances have been reflective of the type of team the Dolphins thought they would field in 2024 before a 2-6 start. With a healthy Tua Tagovailoa under center and a blossoming pass rush, Miami is climbing its way into postseason contention.
But a trio of wins against teams that are all currently below .500 far from stamps the Dolphins as a Super Bowl favorite. A Thanksgiving matchup with the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field could provide a more realistic litmus test of Miami’s status as a contender.
Here’s where experts now rank the Dolphins heading into Week 13:
