Misery Index · Miserable
Dolphins fans treating a 38-10 wrap as the merciful end to a season nobody will bother remembering by March.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A 38-10 finale in New England plays like a season summary in miniature: a blocked A.Borregales field goal recovered by J.Marshall, a J.Wright fumble handed back at midfield, and a Q.Ewers interception that erased whatever fight was left. R.Stevenson's 56-yard run on the opening drive set the tone before anyone settled in. The roster questions are real, but the bigger one lingers — what, exactly, from these 18 weeks is worth carrying into next year?
