The Miami Dolphins are on a record-breaking pace when it comes to quarterback sacks, but the team may also set another record for futility, fewest rushing yards in a season.
After a perfect start, Miami's losing streak is predicated on the well-documented woes of its offensive line. And while protecting Ryan Tannehill and getting the running game going aren't the Dolphins only concerns, they certainly merit being at the top of Joe Philbin's priority list.
Even in Dan Marino's heyday, when his infrequent handoffs were tantamount to a trick play, the Miami Dolphins had a more prolific ground game than this year's team.
In 2002, the Houston Texans made quarterback David Carr the number one overall pick in the NFL Draft. Carr came to Houston ready to start with the new franchise. Instead, he spent his first year running for his life. The Dolphins are in danger of repeating history with quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
Justin Tucker kicked a 44-yard field goal to put the Baltimore Ravens ahead with 1:42 left, and they withstood a frantic comeback bid by the Miami Dolphins to win 26-23 Sunday.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill and Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco are both likely eager to get back on the field after Week 4 losses.
With a reported 10 injured players, the Dolphins staff is working around the clock to try and have as many able bodies as possible for Sunday's showdown with the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens. Opening kickoff is slated for 1:05 p.m. ET from Sun Life Stadium on CBS4.
Pollsters typically look at the latest political questions and candidates. While the latest Public Policy Polling poll from Florida did that, it also took a look at the issues of sports loyalty in the state and the results might surprise you.
Mike Wallace expected to be a big play, deep threat wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins when he signed a $60 million contract in the offseason. But a quarter of the way through the season, Wallace hasn't produced many big plays and it has him worried.
The Miami Dolphins pass blocking has been brutal across the board. From bad offensive line play to poor blitz pickup by running backs, it's all contributed to quarterback Ryan Tannehill getting sacked at a pace that would result in 72 sacks on the season.
The Miami Dolphins brought wide receiver Mike Wallace in to blow the tops off of defenses with deep passing maximizing his speed. Through four games this season, Wallace hasn't been able to use his speed and the Fins are struggling with the deep ball.
The Fins come back to earth after Monday's demolition at the hands of the Saints, but are they overrated? The Buccaneers are a mess and there's only one way out. College football attendance is down this year, even in the SEC, Savannah State can explain why. And, what would a government shutdown be without a special comment?
Even though the post-Lewis era hasn't gotten off to the start John Harbaugh envisioned, underestimating the (2-2) Baltimore Ravens could prove to be a costly mistake for Joe Philbin and the (3-1) Miami Dolphins heading into their Week 5 showdown at Sun Life Stadium.
The Miami Dolphins pass blocking has been the focus of much consternation all season long. Monday night's game won't do anything to quell much of that talk.
The Miami Dolphins managed to win the first three games of the season with a subpar running game and weak pass blocking. But Monday night, both of those elements came back to haunt the Dolphins as Drew Brees and the New York Saints took the Fins apart in a 38-17 thumping.
Drew Brees reminded a national audience why he's becoming Mr. Monday Night, and gave the Miami Dolphins another reason to regret not making a harder push to sign him when they had the chance seven years ago.
The last time the Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints were on the field together, the Saints walked out of Sun Life Stadium with a shootout victory, 46-34. Most of the players on the Dolphins side have changed, as have the coaches. But will it be enough to overcome the Saints' Drew Brees and the team's vastly improved defense?
Now that was a fun weekend for sports and we're not quite done yet because the Dolphins play tonight. The Heat hold media day today, bet that's going to be fun, wonder what LeBron's first question will be? The Marlins lose more than 100, but end on a high note, but are still a mess (much like that sentence). And college football craziness, all in the agenda!

After getting the best of Andrew Luck and Matt Ryan the past two weeks, Ryan Tannehill and the Miami Dolphins are cautiously optimistic about their next - and perhaps most difficult - test of the early season against Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.
Miami Dolphins end Cameron Wake and two other defensive starters are listed as questionable for Monday night's game at New Orleans.
The Dolphins are 3-0 for the first time in 11 years, winning close games and showing some offensive pizazz for a change thanks largely to Tannehill, who's no longer overlooked in conversations about the remarkable rookie quarterback class of 2012.
The Mercedes-Benz Superdome will be rocking Monday night when the Miami Dolphins and the New Orleans Saints meet in a battle of unbeatens. While the Fins listed 11 players in Friday's injury report, Joe Philbin and company feel very optimistic descending onto the "Big Easy" this week.
Coaches want you to believe that every opponent is the same, that every game is the same, that every win is the same. It's a nice act, but Miami coach Joe Philbin knows that wasn't the case last Sunday, when his Dolphins beat the Falcons 27-23 to improve to 3-0.
