Bradley Chubb admitted the overconfident Dolphins looked past the Titans before historic collapse

The Miami Dolphins have a huge problem on their hands.

After an epic collapse to the Tennessee Titans on Monday night — Miami blew a 27-13 lead with less than three minutes to play at home — it’s starting to become apparent that this team might not have the fortitude to make a deep AFC playoff run. We already knew the Dolphins struggled against good teams. They weren’t supposed to struggle to close out the bad ones, either.

According to Miami defensive Bradley Chubb, it happened partly because the Dolphins were getting a little full of themselves with a pregame 9-3 record. Oof. That’s the last thing you want to hear from a team leader on a squad that hasn’t even won a single playoff game.

Chubb saying the Dolphins let their foot off the gas is a massive understatement. With a win, Miami would’ve been in cruise control for its first AFC East title since the days of Ronnie Brown and Anthony Fasano. Instead, it opened the door for a potentially heroic (though still unlikely) Bills run back to a fourth straight division championship. Josh Allen is one of the last football players I’d want to give any breathing room to.
