NFL Power Rankings, Week 15: 49ers win thriller over Saints, Chiefs stake claim

26. Miami Dolphins (23)

After pulling off one of the biggest upsets from Week 13 by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles, the Miami Dolphins were hoping to see the momentum continue on the road during Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.

When taking into consideration the Dolphins were able to defeat their rivals during the first meeting between these two teams at the beginning of November, the Jets seemed like they were at high risk to be swept by New York.

Instead, Miami failed to find the end zone even once, and failed to defeat New York after their only points from the game came on seven field goals by Jason Sanders.

As impressive as it was to see this high amount of field goals from someone like Sanders, this still sums up how much the Dolphins struggled on offense since even a few of those kicks being touchdowns instead would have put Miami in much better position to earn the win.

With only three games remaining, the question comes up once again if the Dolphins would be better off seeing what Josh Rosen would be capable of since Ryan Fitzpatrick isn’t the long-term answer under center.

Until Rosen is given the proper opportunity, it’s going to be difficult to determine the former first-round pick’s potential in Miami.
