Miami Dolphins Fan Confidence: A Quick Recovery After Win
Fan morale was low after the Fins’ first loss of the season, but a win against the Baltimore Ravens has fans feeling optimistic again.
The Miami Dolphins suffered their first loss of the season in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills, and fan confidence took a hit as a result. However, the team bounced back with a convincing 28-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3, and fan confidence has rebounded significantly.
According to a recent poll by the Miami Herald, 62% of fans are now confident that the Dolphins will make the playoffs this season, up from just 45% after the loss to the Bills.
There are several reasons for the increase in fan confidence.
First, the Dolphins' offense looked much more efficient against the Ravens than it did against the Bills. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns, and the running game averaged 4.6 yards per carry.
Second, the Dolphins' defense played much better against the Ravens than it did against the Bills. The Ravens were held to just 10 points and 277 total yards.
Third, the Dolphins' special teams played well against the Ravens. Kicker Jason Sanders made all four of his field goal attempts, and punter Thomas Morstead averaged 48.3 yards per punt.
The Dolphins' win over the Ravens was a much-needed confidence boost for the team and its fans.
The Dolphins are now 2-1 on the season, and they are in a good position to make a run at the playoffs. The team's next game is against the Cincinnati Bengals, and a win would give the Dolphins a 3-1 record and a lot of momentum heading into the rest of the season.
