Antonio Pierce has led a resurgent effort in Vegas, replacing the maligned Josh McDaniels as the anti-snob, a hard-nosed ex-player who grew up in southern California and won at the highest level with the New York Giants. Their next four games will give them a great chance to extend that lead (LV, NYJ, WAS, TEN), starting with Sunday against the Raiders. Despite a loss in Week 9, the Dolphins lead the AFC East. What we can anticipate, however, is a Dolphins’ offense getting back to what it does best on its home field in a very winnable matchup in Week 11. The Chiefs were coming into that game after a loss, and last year’s champions are never an easy opponent, so we won’t go overboard or overreact to Miami’s stumble in Frankfurt. Coming off a bye week, the Dolphins head home after falling short in Germany against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9. Second-year coach Mike McDaniel and his quarterback have formed a noticeable bond that’s as crucial to their offense’s success as any matchup advantage or scheme. No team is more explosive (0.515 points per play) or accrues more yards on average every week (435.3). To no one’s surprise, the Miami Dolphins are one of the league’s premier offenses.
