Not in any yr, however particularly within the midst of an 0-3 December shedding skid heading right into a\u00a0Christmas afternoon matchup towards Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n

Three Tua Tagovailoa fourth-quarter interceptions \u2014 the final of which was as brutal as they arrive \u2014 and general uninspired efficiency added as much as a Dolphins loss that dropped the staff’s probabilities of making the playoffs all the way down to 66 %.<\/a>Remarkably (if you happen to’re a Phins fan), the staff continues to be within the driver’s seat heading into the ultimate two weeks of the season, however the scenario is gentle years away from the 92 %<\/i> wager they might have been with a win over Green Bay.<\/p>\n
