NFL Power Rankings: Miami Dolphins and 2 More Teams Find Ways To Suck for Luck

Three teams found a new way to define the term, “Suck for Luck.” One team found a way to lose by giving up 18 unanswered points to a quarterback that had an awful game up until his team’s comeback. Another team was blown out in prime time. And a third team had half of its stadium filled up by the opposing team’s fans. 

Three teams all found ways to not just to lose a ballgame, but lose in an embarrassing fashion.  

All of these three teams either have a need for Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, or will have a need for him in the near future. 

Three teams played some awful football yesterday. Which teams were they? Well, take a look at who found a new way to suck for Luck.

Miami Dolphins 

The Dolphins are an amazing team. Not only did they drop a game to the one-win Denver Broncos, who was starting a new quarterback in this game. But, they did it after shutting down Tim Tebow for three and a half quarters, only to allow Tebow and the Broncos to run off 18 unanswered points. 

How does that happen? 

How does a team just collapse like that, allowing a team to recover an onside kick, then march down the field to bring the game to two points and then allow the two-point conversion? 

Then, in overtime only allow a measly two yards on offense, before having the victory ripped away from them with a 52-yard field goal. 

The Dolphins found a new low yesterday, a low that may earn them the No. 1 draft pick.

Indianapolis Colts 

What a horrible performance by this Colts team last night on prime time television against the New Orleans Saints. Not only did they go down 28-0 by the 10 minute mark of the second quarter, but by the end of the third quarter, down 48-7, they had television viewers jumping ship to the World Series. 

Final score last night, 62-7, and a big thanks for coming to the Colts fans who made the trip down to New Orleans. 

Arizona Cardinals 

Now, Arizona has not been in the, suck for Luck, camp for awhile. But, after yesterday’s horrible performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers, they should be lopped in with the Colts and Dolphins.  

The game was a glorified home game for the Steelers, as half of the stadium in Arizona was full of the Steelers Nation. 

Kevin Kolb didn’t play horrible, but he is not the answer for this Cardinals team going forward. They should take Luck, if they happen to fall into that first pick in the draft. 

Three teams all were awful yesterday, and all made a case for the Stanford quarterback, if he decides to leave college for the pros.
