The Dolphins enter their Week 16 matchup with the Jaguars tied for third in the NFL with 26 takeaways.

Analysis: Miami had a performance to forget against the Vikings last week, but have a prime opportunity to rebound against a Jaguars team that is averaging 9.3 points over their last three games. Jacksonville's offense turned from inept to non-functional when Cody Kessler took over for the benched Blake Bortles, as they haven't scored an offensive touchdown yet in December. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have allowed 74 points in the last two games, which helps explain how they rank 27th in scoring defense…read more

The Dolphins surrendered 421 yards during Sunday's wild upset win over the Patriots.

Analysis: The game will undoubtedly go down in NFL lore. Thanks to a last play, 69-yard hook and ladder, Miami was able to re-position itself in playoff contention. While the division is still likely out of reach, the Dolphins have a rock solid chance of squeaking into a wild card spot should they run the table over their last three weeks. The first team in their way, Minnesota, is fresh off one of the worst offensive outputs of the season in its 21-7 loss to Seattle on Monday. The porous effort was…read more

The Dolphins surrendered 415 yards of offense during last week's 21-17 win over the Bills.

Analysis: Miami was out-gained 415-175 but still found a way to exit Sunday as victors. After 13 weeks, the Dolphins have proven to be a situational matchup play. Ranked 20th in the league in scoring defense (25.0 PPG) and 29th in total defense (399.4 YPG), Miami's weekly outlook largely depends on the opposition. This week, it's best to cover your eyes with the Patriots coming to town.

The Dolphins have dropped four of their last five contests heading into Sunday's game against the Bills.

Analysis: The lone Miami win came against the Jets three weeks ago. From a defensive standpoint, the Dolphins have looked subpar over the last month and half. Adam Gase's squad has surrendered at least 27 points in all but one of its last seven contests. Ranked 29th in total defense (398.0 YPG), Miami lacks a sufficient amount of defensive playmakers to consistently shut down opposing offenses. Sunday's tilt with the Bills has the makings of an ugly game. Given the recent downward trend, the Dolphins…read more

The Dolphins feature the 25th-ranked total defense (392.3 YPG) as they face the Colts in Week 12.

Analysis: The Dolphins were eviscerated by RB Aaron Jones and the Packers' run game to the tune of 7.8 yards per carry in Week 10 prior to their bye week, and now give up an average of 142.0 rushing yards per game at 4.8 per carry. Miami has done well to force 19 turnovers on the season, but backup QB Brock Osweiler rarely made this easier over the last five games, but starter Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) is set to return this week. QB Andrew Luck has led the Colts back to a top-five scoring offense this…read more
