The Splash Zone 11/29/22: Tough task ahead for the Dolphins

Nov 29, 2022 - 10:00 AM

It is near the end of November and the Miami Dolphins are first place in the AFC East. It’s a sight Dolphin fans have not been used to seeing over the past two decades as the team has a high percentage to make the playoffs. A very tough schedule starts this week when the Dolphins have to travel out west to take on the San Francisco 49ers and return again to take on the Los Angeles Chargers. It wouldn’t be surprising to just see the team stay out in California following the 49ers game. After those two games, a rematch with the Buffalo Bills up north marks three road games in a row. We are going to learn a lot about this Dolphins team over the next few weeks.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
