Miami Dolphins. 12. team. 59. . 8-5. Previous:

Brian Flores’ club wound bend and break on both defense and special teams, this despite picking off talented Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes three times. All told, the resourceful Dolphins came up with four takeaways and still allowed 448 total yards and 33 points.

Rookie quarterback Tua Tagovaiola threw for 316 yards and two touchdowns but was also sacked four times, including once for a safety, and also served up an interception.

48. . 8-5. Previous: . Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 11. team

Bruce Arians’ erratic team took the Vikings’ best shot early on, spotted Minnesota a 6-0 lead and then scored 23 consecutive points to eventually post a comfortable victory.

The Buccaneers did not turn over the football as veteran Tom Brady threw for 196 yards and two touchdowns. Todd Bowles’ defensive unit punished quarterback Kirk Cousins, sacking him six times (twice by linebacker Shaq Barrett) and recovering one of his two fumbles.

9-4. Previous: . Indianapolis Colts. 10. team. 46.

The club headed west to Sin City looking to keep pace with the Titans, who won easily at Jacksonville earlier in the day. And Frank Reich’s club overcame a 14-10 second-quarter deficit and eventually pulled away by outscoring the Raiders, 30-13, the rest of the way.

Rookie running back Jonathan Taylor ran 20 times for 150 yards and two scores and the Colts came away with three takeaways, including a 50-yard pick-six of Derek Carr by safety Khari Willis.
