6 Worst NFL teams from Week 1 of the 2019 season
By Adam Patrick
1. Miami Dolphins
Week 1 Result: 59-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens
Did the Dolphins know that they had a game this week? Because it looked like every Miami player slept through their alarm on Sunday and was caught off guard by having to take the field this week.
Due to the recent purging of their roster, most assumed that the Dolphins would be tanking this year to try and get the top pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. But Miami played so horribly on Sunday against the Ravens that the league might just give them the top pick in the 2021 draft as well.
Let’s just look at a few of the things that went wrong for the Dolphins this week. If you don’t have plans for the rest of the month, then we can take the time to go over everything that Miami did poorly against Baltimore.
So on Sunday, the Dolphins only rushed for 21 yards, turned the ball over three times, committed nine penalties, possessed the ball for less than 20 minutes, and allowed the Ravens to gain over 640 yards of total offense.
Honestly, would Miami even win a game in the CFL this season? Baltimore does have a good team and they should be a contender this year, but no one expected them to make the Dolphins look like the Washington Generals of the NFL.
If Miami wants to tank this year, that’s fine. Maybe just make it a little less obvious next week?
