Dolphins just seem to want it Moore
Miami is clicking, no matter the QB
On a short week, having a backup quarterback start usually means trouble.
Not so for the Miami Dolphins, who saw Matt Moore come on for the injured Jay Cutler and rally the troops past the Jets.
The Ravens aren’t as good as the Jets, which isn’t saying much.
For Miami, no deficit seems intimidating. The Dolphins came back from a 17-point hole at Atlanta to win. Then they overcame a 14-point Jets lead in the fourth quarter for a victory last Sunday.
“A lot of it has to do with the personality of the players,” coach Adam Gase says. “Guys around here seem to embrace it more than worrying about failing.”
Miami is 13-4 under Gase since starting out 1-4 with him in 2016.
The Ravens have a terrific coach in John Harbaugh. What they don’t have is anything near a healthy roster.
Miami is a 3.5-point underdog at Baltimore. We don’t see that.
