The Miami Dolphins were once said to have the fastest offense in the entire NFL. The three-headed rushing trio of Raheem Mostert, DeVon Achane and Jaylen Wright? Blazingly fast wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle? Jonnu Smith, a yards-after-catch master among tight ends?

Instead, they were stifled, slowed down. It didn't help when Tua Tagovailoa suffered a scary concussion against the Buffalo Bills, their eternal tormentors. They have rebounded somewhat with Tagovailoa back under center, but they still have much to do.
