The Dolphins had a chance to knock off another playoff contender yesterday, and likely would have if they could have run the ball effectively in the second half.
But they were missing running back Daniel Thomas, and now will have to figure out a way without him the rest of the season. Thomas suffered torn ligaments in his ankle, and offensive coordinator Mike Sherman just told reporters there that Thomas would be out for the rest of the season.
Thomas had worked his way into a committee role with Lamar Miller, but now the Dolphins run game will need someone such as Mike Gillislee to step up.
