For 30 years, I’ve been a diehard fan of the Miami Dolphins. I watched from afar as we transitioned from the greatest of all time to a bunch of mediocre nobodies. Sure, there was a Jay Fiedler and Chad Pennington sprinkled in (Fitzpatrick would come later)—but for the most part, there hasn’t been a whole lot to get excited about.
But all of that changed once Brian Flores arrived.
In his first season, Miami went 5-11, ending the year on a high after a 27-24 win over the Patriots. The loss would force New England to travel in the playoffs.
