Momentum was on Miami’s side before the Bye-Week.
Football is a game of physically and psychologically momentum.
Winning a football game involves the culmination of many aspects working together, and momentum is right at the top of that list.
One definition for momentum is: strength or force that allows something to continue or to grow stronger or faster as time passes.
In football, one form of momentum can occur during the course of a game when a team strings together a series of impact plays. This type of momentum can cause a game to swing from one team’s favor to another team’s favor.
Another type of momentum is one that carries from game to game, where teams put together multiple games of success and victories.
Miami has used the former type of momentum to gain the latter type and is looking to keep the good times rolling by winning a third straight game — a feat that Miami hasn’t accomplished since 2014.
One thing that could derail this new found success is the Bye-Week. While the time off allowed Miami to heal, it could also derail their mojo. That’s the thing about momentum in football: it’s most apt to keep going when a team’s normal routine is uninterrupted
Since Coach Adam Gase is in his first year as a head coach, best pay per head fans will be very interested to see how his players to perform against the Jets given the extra time. Good coaches tend to win games after a Bye-Week. So Sunday will be an important gauge as to whether Gase deserves a spot on that list of good coaches or not.
Hopefully the Dolphins can continue the ride with the J-train as the conductor. Funny how in a passing league, Miami’s fate rests on the run. It’s about time. Go Fins!!!
