The Splash Zone 12/2/22: Dolphins enter as underdogs against 49ers

The Miami Dolphins enter this weekends game against the San Francisco 49ers as underdogs. The Dolphins boast one of the best offenses in the league which is weird to type as we haven’t seen a powerhouse unit like this in Miami for ages. On the other side, the 49ers may have the best defense in the entire NFL. So let’s ask an old question: “What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?”. The Dolphins have already beaten the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills, two very good football teams. If they can come away with a victory against the 49ers, the excitement level among fans may get out of control.
