24. Miami Dolphins

Could the Miami Dolphins actually be a better team than originally expected for the 2018 season? Around this time last year, the Dolphins were hoping that Jay Cutler would be their short-term answer at quarterback after Ryan Tannehill was lost for the season early on, which as football fans remember, know was a huge mistake when seeing how inconsistent he was.

All of that money may have been a complete waste for Miami, but at least with Tannehill looking healthier than ever, early signs point to the former first-round pick having what it takes to show he can still be the answer for this offense in the long run. Even though the two interceptions were a little frustrating to see, the Dolphins for the most part had plenty of reasons to be thrilled with Tannehill coming through when needed the most after finishing the game with two touchdown passes, both of which went to Kenny Stills.

If these two can figure out a way to continue this chemistry throughout the regular season, maybe Miami will end up being one of the surprise contenders in the AFC. For now, at least the Dolphins can enjoy knocking off a top contender from a year ago in the Titans after all of the weather delays finally came to an end.
