Taking a moment to try and think of a team that has ever had a better Bad Season than Michigan just did. Best possible final two games, #1 recruit, still the reigning champ, etc

We aren’t dead yet.
FINAL: Dolphins 20, Browns 3
Tyler Huntley was excellent in a spot start for Tua Tagovailoa, completing 22/26 passes for 225 yards and a TD, adding 53 rushing yards and a TD on the ground
Dolphins are IN the playoffs with a win vs NYJ next week and a DEN loss to KC
