11. Miami Dolphins (LW: 15)
It’s about time. Miami has quietly been playing well over the past few weeks, but it needed a ‘statement win’ to solidify itself among the contenders. That win finally came in the form of a 37-0 thrashing of the visiting Chargers on Sunday. With the victory, Miami now moves to 4-1 in its past five games, with the only loss coming via a last-second touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers. At 5-3 and with the league’s third-best defense, the Dolphins are trending upwards at the right time.
