26. Miami Dolphins 1-3 (25)

Pathetic doesn’t even begin to describe what went down for the Miami Dolphins on Thursday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Ryan Tannehill summed it up best when describing this game as one of the worst offensive games he’s been part of during his five-year career with the team.

When Kenny Stills caught a 74-yard touchdown in the first quarter to give the Dolphins an early 7-3 lead, all signs pointed to the Bengals being on upset alert, which is the last thing they could afford when considering how the AFC North is panning out. Instead, the touchdown by Stills ended up being the only points for Miami in the game as they went on to lose 22-7.

As if only scoring seven points wasn’t already frustrating enough, the Dolphins’ offense was almost outperformed by A.J. Green–who finished the game with 10 catches for 173 yards and a touchdown. Adam Gase has always drawn praise for being an offensive genius, but the Dolphins have scored 10 points or less in two of four games.

If things don’t improve for Miami soon on both sides of the football, they’re going to be out of the AFC East race before even hitting the halfway mark of the regular season.
