Miami Dolphins. 13. team. 59. . 6-4.

Yes, the Miami Dolphins pulled off a 14-10 victory over the lowly Rams and still managed to drop in NFL power rankings this week.

Why? Well, this particular win wasn’t exactly impressive. And it isn’t as if the Dolphins change in standings, it’s merely other teams have surpassed them in our rankings.

Quarterback Ryan Tannehill looked OK against a tough Los Angeles defense, and Miami can at least feel pretty good about its five-game winning streak.

And while the Dolphins can’t afford to rely solely on their defense to win these low-scoring games, they can feel pretty good about hosting the hapless 49ers in Week 12.

The Dolphins winning streak should easily continue.
