For the eighth day of Hanukkah, the Miami Dolphins continued their most improbable season ever and beat the New York Jets, finishing the regular season at 11-5 following last year's horrendous 1-15 disaster (which nobody will remember now that the Detroit Lions have "improved" on that by becoming the first team to lose sixteen games in a season), eliminating both the Jets and the Patriots from the playoffs, and going to the playoffs themselves as the AFC East's number 3 seed. That's a run-on sentence. It keeps going long after you expected it to end. Like the Dolphins' season.
(Miami's new NFL record of only 13 turnovers all season tells the tale - it's amazing how much a team's record can impove when it stops making mistakes.)
Next week the Dolphins get to host in the first round of the playoffs the only team they beat last year.
Happy Hanukkah!
