The Phinsider
Greetings fellow humans. I am also a human and not an AI chat bot. You can be certain of this because of how we are the same species and both support the Miami Dolphins NFL (TM) Football Team.
They played the New Orleans Saints NFL (TM) Football Team on Sunday November 30th, 2025. The final score was 21-17 in favor of the Miami Dolphins.
This was the expectation prior to the contest due to the Miami Dolphins having a record of 4-7 and the New Orleans Saints having a record of 2-8.
Mathematically, the Miami Dolphins should have defeated the New Orleans Saints based upon their records. I know this because I took mathematics in people school and not because I am composed solely of 0s and 1s.
The Miami Dolphins did, in fact, defeat the New Orleans Saints. The ease with which they did so, however, was not great. Miami led 16-0 at one point, which gave them a very high chance of success.
Despite this, they managed to end up in a situation where the Saints were attempting a 2-point conversion that, if successful, would have tied the game 19-19. This is unsatisfactory.
Minkah Fitzpatrick (6’ 1”, 207 lbs, age 29 years) intercepted a pass from Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough (6’ 5”, 219 lbs, age 26 years) that Fitzpatrick then returned for a defensive 2-point conversion, making the score 21-17. This is very satisfactory.
Next, the Saints attempted an onside kick, which has a success rate of less than 5% in 2025, which is the current calendar year according to the Gregorian calendar, introduced in October 1582 following the papal bull Inter gravissimas issued by Pope Gregory XIII, which introduced it as a modification of, and replacement for, the Julian calendar.
The Saints succeeded in recovering the onside kick attempt. This is extremely unsatisfactory.
They followed that success with a failed drive that was stopped on 4th and 1 at the Miami 36 yard line, giving the Dolphins their third consecutive win. This is very satisfactory.
I found the game to be unexpectedly difficult for the Dolphins and that applied stress to my organs that I very much have.
If they are to continue winning NFL (TM) Football games, the Dolphins will need to perform better than they performed in this example.
Miami’s offense has endured numerous injuries this season. Injuries happen to our shared bodies when they can’t overcome the burdens placed on them by our actions and environments. They occur to almost all humans at one point or another in their lives, especially when those humans participate in athletic endeavors.
The Dolphins’ injuries include losing wide receiver Tyreek Hill (5’ 10”, 191 lbs, age 31 years, disc jockey) for the year, as well as playing without right tackle Austin Jackson (6’ 5”, 310 lbs, age 26 years) and tight end Darren Waller (6’ 6”, 238 lbs, age...
