Bradley Chubb’s injury could end Dolphins’ Super Bowl hopes

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Dolphins exterior linebacker Bradley Chubb — who leads the crew in sacks (11 in 16 video games) — suffered a season-ending ACL tear within the fourth quarter in Sunday’s 56-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Head coach Mike McDaniel felt leaving the two-time Professional Bowler in a blowout was a mistake.

“I imply, in hindsight, I might completely not have wished him on the market if I might’ve recognized that he was going to get harm. It does not look very good in any respect,” he stated, per ESPN.com. “The gamers wished to return in and play and end the appropriate means heading into subsequent week. And I’ve the power to inform them no on every little thing on this state of affairs. There’s loads of choices that I am going to cross-examine.”

Dolphins third-year linebacker Jaelan Phillips — who had 6.5 sacks in eight video games — suffered a season-ending Achilles tear in a Week 12 win over the New York Jets. Miami is tied for twenty first within the league in factors allowed (23.1), so not having two of its high pass-rushers within the postseason is a big blow.

In Week 18, the Dolphins host the Buffalo Payments (10-6) in a matchup that can decide the AFC East crown. Miami cannot host a playoff recreation if it loses, which is not splendid. It went 4-4 on the highway this season.

Stopping Payments QB Josh Allen is a troublesome process, particularly if a crew might wrestle to generate strain. In 16 video games, he is tied for seventh within the league in passing TDs (27) and third in QBR (68.2). As of Monday, ESPNBet lists Buffalo as a three-point favorite.
