NFL Power Rankings: Steelers climbing the ladder heading into Week 6

27. Miami Dolphins
Jacoby Brissett hasn’t exactly been the answer the Miami Dolphins have been looking for at quarterback. Since Tua Tagovailoa landed on IR, Brissett has graded out as just the 20th-best quarterback in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus. However, the results on the field have been far worse than his ranking would even suggest.
According to Team Rankings, the Dolphins are currently 31st in the NFL with 15.8 offensive points per game — ahead of only the New York Jets. This is clearly a major concern. Likewise, their defense has allowed all of 30.8 points per game to begin the season.
Many experts predicted that the Dolphins would be contenders in the AFC East this year with a strong roster and very good defense from 2020, but that hasn’t been the case. Just last week, the Dolphins were humiliated by a very good Tampa Bay Buccaneers team.
Though all the signs don’t look great so far, this team is too talented to believe that their poor start dictates the team they will be this season. I expect the offense and defense alike to finally get their act together against the Jaguars this week.
