How did losing to Bengals affect Dolphins for Week 6 power rankings?
The Dolphins fell to 0-5 on the season after dropping their Week 5 matchup with the Bengals on Sunday. Here's where they sit in new power rankings.
On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins suffered a 32-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals at Hard Rock Stadium, extending their season record to 0-5. This marks the worst start in league history, with the Dolphins now tied with the Los Angeles Chargers and Tennessee Titans for the bottom of the standings. Despite the poor performance, there are a few positive aspects to note.
Running back Ollie Gordon has contributed 188 yards and two touchdowns in his two starts since De’Von Achane’s season-ending injury. Additionally, the Dolphins managed to out-gain the Bengals 331 yards to 307 and scored a season-high 24 points. The team's bye week is scheduled for Week 6, providing a break from the losses. However, their next two opponents are the Jets, which could present the only chances for a win this season.
The team's defense has been functional, but their offensive struggles, particularly with first-year quarterback Malik Willis, remain significant concerns as the season progresses.
