NFL Power Rankings, Week 14: Ravens perched atop AFC, Packers bounce back
By Dan Parzych
23. Miami Dolphins (27)
Watching Ryan Fitzpatrick throw an interception during his first pass of Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles made it seem like the Miami Dolphins were heading towards a long afternoon.
But thanks to Fitzpatrick turning things around with some serious help from DeVante Parker, the Dolphins were able to pull off the major upset over the Eagles to earn their third win in five games.
As great as it was to see Fitzpatrick finish with 365 passing yards to go along with three touchdowns, Parker was the one who stood out the most on offense thanks to having a career day consisting of seven catches for 159 yards with two trips into the end zone.
With the way things have gone in Miami this season, the Dolphins have nothing to play for other than a spoiler role to teams competing for a spot in the playoffs, but also Brian Flores deserves a ton of credit for the confidence installed in this team.
It became clear early on that Miami would be experiencing a year of rebuilding in 2019, but after watching their impressive play from Sunday, there’s all of a sudden some excitement surrounding this team heading into the final stretch.
