One team winning may be beneficial for the Miami Dolphins.
We made it to championship week in the NFL, and Miami Dolphins fans are yet again watching any team but theirs in it.
The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs game on Sunday night may hurt to watch because one team constantly wins championships while the other constantly spanks Miami twice a year. What if I told you that one team winning could help the Dolphins? Just follow me here for a second.
Two days ago, Dolphins beat reporter for the Sun Sentinel David Furones had a simple question:
This simple question understandably spun out of control. There are two basic thoughts on this that I saw. Either fans are sick and tired of Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift, and the Chiefs winning all the time while being gifted penalties, or they hate the Bills so much that they do not care who wins as long as it’s not them.
I don’t have enough hate in my heart to hate watching the Bills or Chiefs, but I like parody in sports. If I had to place myself in one of those camps, it would probably be the one that’s against the same team winning almost every year.
When it comes to the Dolphins, one team stands in their way to break their streak of not winning the division or winning a playoff game. That’s Josh Allen and the Bills.
On Sunday, I will be rooting for the Bills. Not because I’m a fan of them, but because their breaking through and getting to the Super Bowl is good for the Dolphins. How so?
Generally, when a team wins a Superbowl, they take a step back the next year. It could be injuries, players being traded to fix their cap after going all in or just being less hungry one they finally win it all. The same goes for a team that makes the Super Bowl and loses.
Is this a guarantee that the Dolphins will win the division or a playoff game if the Bills win the Super Bowl? No, but the Bills being less hungry gives the Dolphins a better chance in 2025 than it would if the Bills lost to the Chiefs again.
It’s not a perfect science, but if rooting for the Bills and watching them finally pass the Chiefs gives the Dolphins a chance to win a few playoff games next year, I’m all for it.
Let us know in the comments who you will be rooting for on Sunday night in the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs game.
