made it three in a row Caleb Benenoch Jersey with their 35-32 victory against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field, and now have climbed into the top five in some national power rankings.But there is a bigger disparity in the opinions among the 10 national power rankings we survey, with the Dolphins as high as 5 and as low as 14, after their span was 7 to 12 after their Week 8 win at Detroit.In our survey of rankings of those 10 national outlets CBS Sports, NFL.com, The Athletic, The Sporting News, The Ringer, USA Today, , ESPN, Yahoo, and Pro Football Talk the Dolphins averaged a ranking of 8.1 among the 32 NFL teams, down from their average of 8.7 after Week 8.Here's the breakdown of the Dolphins' 10 power rankings spots, along with the commentary a sociated with it:Ranking: 6 Previous: 7Analysis: The offense has been a heck of a story, but if the defense doesn't improve it might not matter. They have to be better on that side of the ball.Ranking: 12 Previous: 12Analysis:When the Dolphins to land pa s rusher , it was something of an admi sion their defense wasn't where they needed it to be through eight weeks. Chubb should make a difference in the long term, but over the Bears offered more evidence that Miami has a lot of work to do to improve on Josh Boyer's side of the ball. The Dolphins keep winning because and the offense are on a rampage: Tua went over 300 yards with three touchdowns for the second straight week, while and delivered their typical carnage (12 catches Andrus Peat Jersey for 228 yards and two TDs combined). Had Tua not mi sed time, this offense would likely be on a historic pace.Ranking: 5 Previous: 8Analysis (on a trade the Dolphins wish they had back): , fourth-round pick and seventh-round pick for first-round pick , fifth-round pick Jason Strowbridge and sixth-round pick (trade with , September 2019).The rank No. 2 in offensive DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average) and No. 28 in defensive DVOA, so the task here is finding a way to best improve the side of the ball holding them back. Quantity over quality is an option in reversing their 2021 trade-up for . That would Michael Thomas T Shirts bring back a young pa s rusher in and a capable cornerback in Cordale Flott. But rescuing Fitzpatrick from a Steelers season going down the drain and pairing him with would give the Dolphins one of the leagues best safety tandems. Losing Jackson also hurts le s with the return of another capable starting offensive lineman in Dotson.Ranking: 9 Previous: 10Analysis:he defense needs more work. The offense doesnt.Ranking: 7 Previous: 7Analysis:Tua Tagovailoa's 17-game pace this season is 4,809 yards and 36 touchdowns, and that counts the Bengals game in which he suffered a concu sion before halftime.
