Dolphins’ best and worst PFF grades through the first 9 weeks

The Miami Dolphins enter their Week 10 bye with a 6-3 record after defeating the Los Angeles Chargers, New England Patriots (twice), Denver Broncos, New York Giants and Carolina Panthers and losing to the Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.

Throughout the season, they’ve had some players post incredible performances while others may want to forget and move on from their time on the field during the first nine games.
