Man, right in the thick of the AFC wild card race, the Miami Dolphins pulled off an upset for the ages. They defeated the New England Patriots 33-32 after running back Kenyan Drake scored on one of those wild lateral-laden jailbreak plays that seem to only work in movies. They’re calling it the ‘Miami Miracle,’ and it is quite the spectacle.

Man, what are the odds that a play like this works? When do you ever see this play work?
I will say, from a pure entertainment standpoint, this type of play always delivers. What’s the worst that could happen? You get a decent laugh out of it when an offensive lineman ends up with the ball and goes rumblin’ bumblin’ stumblin’ for a few yards before being tackled. Or, you get some awe-inspiring display of will like this one! Just all around good stuff.
Now, if you’re a Fins fan, you have to be feeling pretty good about the rest of the season, right?
Your team is 7-6, and while the tiebreakers have them at third among the four teams at 7-6, they’re still fighting for a wild card berth. Who would have seen that coming? OH WAIT – I DID. I definitely called the Fins underrated in the preseason and instructed everyone to watch out for them. So, don’t mind me while I take this minor victory lap.
