Week 15 NFL Power Rankings

Eddie Lacy

15. Miami Dolphins (LW: 14)

Miami absolutely could not afford a home loss against a conference opponent, and Sunday’s defeat at the hands of the visiting Ravens might spell the end of any playoff push for the Dolphins. At 7-6, Miami has lost every edge in the Wild Card race and will likely end the season just outside the playoff bubble. When compared to seasons past, Miami might look favorably on 2014 – with one more win, the Dolphins would avoid a losing season for only the second time since 2008 – but key wins and a string of solid play had put the Dolphins in position to make the postseason. With that, the Dolphins appear to have squandered a great opportunity.
