Despite slow start, Dolphins rise two spots in NFL analyst’s power rankings

Miami has won three of its last four games

Despite a slow start to the season, the Miami Dolphins have risen two spots in NFL analyst’s power rankings.

The Dolphins started the season 1-3, but have now won three of their last four games. Their only loss in that span was a close one, a 27-24 defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Dolphins' rise in the power rankings is due in part to their strong play on defense. They have allowed just 19.8 points per game this season, which is tied for the fourth-fewest in the NFL.

The Dolphins' offense has also been playing well recently. They have averaged 26.8 points per game in their last four games, and they have been led by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Tagovailoa has thrown for 1,120 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions this season. He has also rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown.

The Dolphins' next game is against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The Lions are 1-6 this season, so the Dolphins will be favored to win.

If the Dolphins can continue to play well, they could be a playoff contender this season.
