The Miami Dolphins put together arguably their best performance of the 2024 season so far in Week 9, but it didn’t matter. Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass hit the longest field in goal in the franchise’s history in the final seconds of the fourth quarter to give the home team a 30-27 win.
What seems clear after the third straight loss for Miami is that the team no longer looks like one of the NFL’s worst. Will that matter in the long run? With nine weeks left, it would take a titanic shift for the Dolphins to find themselves back in the postseason mix.
Here’s where experts currently rank the Dolphins heading into Week 10:
