21. Miami Dolphins 4-4 (21)

For a brief moment on Sunday afternoon, it appeared the Dolphins were going to lose to a depleted Jets team that somehow found itself in this game.  Then, reality happened.

The Dolphins righted the ship quickly after falling behind 23-20 with just over five minutes left in the game.  Kenyan Drake finsihed the Jets off with a 96-yard kickoff return.

The Dolphins evened their record at 4-4 but now must go on the road to California the next two weeks.  They go to San Diego next week and play in Los Angeles the next before coming home to face the 49ers.

In order to be successful, the Dolphins will need to continue to ride the legs of running back Jay Ajayi.  He had 24 carries for 111 yards and a touchdown on Sunday.

Quarterback Ryan Tannehill had very modest numbers on Sunday.  He threw for just 149 yards on 17-28 and one touchdown.  Clearly the running game will need to carry this team if they want any postseason plans.
