The Miami Dolphins confidently entered their Week 14 matchup with the Tennessee Titans.
They were 14-point favorites heading into this game, a sign that Las Vegas sportsbooks were also confident in their ability to win this game.
While it came down to the wire, the Titans pulled out the unexpected gritty win.
After suffering this loss, linebacker Bradley Chubb spoke with reporter Cameron Wolfe, saying, “We probably let our foot off the gas a bit” in the fourth quarter.

The Dolphins were down three points heading into the fourth quarter.
They managed to outscore the Titans, 17-15, but they fell a point short of victory.
Chubb talked about the Dolphins’ playoff aspirations heading into this game, seeing a path forward to the rest of the season.
While the possibility of securing a first-round bye is exciting, the Dolphins still need to finish the year strong.
This loss not only put them at a disadvantage for the bye, but it also hurt their standing within the conference.
They now have the second-best record in the AFC, but with difficult opponents coming up, the Dolphins must stay focused.
As Chubb mentioned, “Cruise control is a natural instinct.”
This caused the Dolphins to lose a game they were expected to win easily and could be a reason for future losses.
With this in mind, the Dolphins need to move forward with confidence.
If they can figure out how to keep the pedal to the metal, they can continue to win the games they are supposed to, resulting in the playoff success this team anticipates.
