NFL Power Rankings, Week 10: Rams face plenty of pressure following bye week

29. Miami Dolphins (32)

After all of the frustration from the first two months of action, the Miami Dolphins finally earned their first win of 2019 by taking down the New York Jets on Sunday to eliminate all pressure of potentially finishing 0-16.

Defeating a team like the Jets with only one win to their name may not sound like that big of a deal, but the Dolphins will take anything they can get at this point with the way this year has gone.

Believe it or not, 21 of the 26 points scored by Miami came in the second quarter, all of which came from three touchdown passes courtesy of Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Brian Flores has taken plenty of heat over the last couple of weeks for sticking with the veteran quarterback over Josh Rosen since Miami should want to see if the UCLA product is in fact the best fit for the long run.

But after watching Fitzpatrick play on Sunday, maybe Flores is right about him being the best option for the Dolphins to win games.

As for whether Miami has what it takes to keep the momentum going in Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts, unfortunately this will be a whole different challenge compared to the Jets.

Then again, if the Dolphins play like they did in Week 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, an upset over the Colts shouldn’t be ruled out, as crazy as that sounds.
