cravnravn Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 MIAMI -- Six weeks into the season, the Miami Dolphins still looked a lot like a punchline. They were 2-4, last in the AFC East and licking their wounds after being manhandled by the Baltimore Ravens. That defeat made it 22 losses in 25 games, and as coach Tony Sparano bemoaned deficiencies in blocking and tackling, it seemed the rebuilding project under the new Bill Parcells regime might take several seasons. Now, Miami is the NFL's most improbable playoff entrant and three wins from the Super Bowl. With a rookie coach, a castoff quarterback and a roster low on star power, the Dolphins (11-5) have won nine of their past 10 games to claim the AFC East title and make the postseason for the first time since 2001. Their reward in the first round Sunday: another crack at Baltimore. more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
