MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — At various times this season, the Miami Dolphins and the Dallas Cowboys have looked like contenders or pretenders.Both teams are 10-4, have offenses and defense ranked near the top of the league, and have taken care of lesser competition — sometimes winning by eye-popping margins.But both have struggled against the best teams in the league.Three of Miami’s four losses have come against teams with winning records, while all 10 of its wins have come against teams that entered at .500 or worse. The Cowboys’ only win against a team that currently has a winning record came two weeks ago in a 33-13 blowout of the ebbing Philadelphia Eagles.Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he told his players to not think about playoff seeding — Miami currently holds the No. 2 spot in the AFC and can clinch a playoff berth with a win Sunday — or the “narrative” that they can’t beat good teams.“Anything other than to concern yourself with the next opponent, which for ...
