27. Miami Dolphins (27)

Remember a few weeks ago when the Miami Dolphins appeared to be turning things around a bit with two surprise wins in a row?

The previous two weeks are the perfect example of how much work needs to be done in the offseason for the Dolphins, especially on the defensive side of the football.

One week after allowing the Buffalo Bills to put up 37 points, Miami had zero answers for stopping Baker Mayfield and the rest of Cleveland’s offense after watching the unit put up 41 points in Week 12.

Not to mention, the Dolphins still need to figure out their most important question of all for once the offseason arrives, which is figuring out their future situation at quarterback moving forward.

As much energy as Ryan Fitzpatrick plays with at times, Miami continues to hold Josh Rosen back in regards to trying to figure out if he has what it takes to be the long-term answer under center.

Fitzpatrick certainly deserves some credit for finishing with three touchdowns (one rushing) against the Browns, but since this still resulted in a loss, it doesn’t even matter for the Dolphins, and leaves the team with more questions than answers entering Week 13.
