"That's because no one was surprised by what happened on the field. The resurgent Dolphins, a team with a four-game winning streak, an emerging physical presence, a consistent running game and a big-play defense, expect to win nowadays. That type of confidence is huge, and it stems from one thing. "Belief, man," linebacker Jordyn Brooks said. Their steadfast belief is now being rewarded. The The Dolphins (6-7), who remain playoff longshots despite their winning streak, seem on the verge of shocking the world."
"One big key to that is that the Dolphins, after starting the season 0-3, then 1-6, and then 2-7, now believe they should win. And that type of bedrock belief has become part of the Dolphins' newfound identity. "I really love this team because they've made the choice, the hard choice, to not only believe in themselves, but put in the work," coach Mike McDaniel said, later adding, "they were well aware they were the only people that really believed in themselves.""
The Miami Dolphins have rattled off four straight wins, transforming into a confident, physical team with an effective running game and opportunistic defense. The club overcame a 2-7 low point after starting 0-3 and 1-6, and now routinely expects to win. Injuries and mistakes that plagued early games have diminished as players regain health and execution improves. The rushing attack produced a season-high 239 yards against the Jets, led by Jaylen Wright (career-best 107) and De'Von Achane (92 yards before a rib injury). The defense, previously 29th against the run, held a top rushing offense to 65 yards.
