The Miami Dolphins are in a tough spot as they face a red-hot Buffalo Bills team on a short week. Josh Allen looks like one of the best players in the league, while Miami just lost to the Patriots. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Mike McDaniel:

“Stephen Ross, the Dolphins owner, does not want to fire Mike McDaniel. He doesn’t,” Rapoport said. “He wants this to work. He likes him, he believes in him, he has invested in him. … My sense is nothing is imminent for the Dolphins on that front. However, there’s a caveat—that can change. If fans suddenly stop showing up to the stadium, or if players stop playing for him, that can alter the situation.”

After tonight, the Dolphins get the Jets at home and then face the Carolina Panthers. After facing the Chargers, they get the Cleveland Browns. So, the next four games are likely a litmus test to see how the Dolphins respond to McDaniel.
