The best sign that something special is happening in Miami?

Even Dolphins offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen can’t explain their success.

Yes, the Dolphins’ defensive stats are historically bad.

But a team can overcome that if its offense is otherworldly.

That hasn’t been the case here.

The Dolphins rank 31st in first downs (236), 29th in third-down conversions (35.2 percent), 22nd in yards (336.3) and 16th in scoring (23.3).

And yet they’re 10-5.

“It’s interesting to look at our numbers,” Christensen said Thursday. “You really don’t see an explanation.”

Christensen added: “I don’t know how we do it. We just keep throwing blows, seeing what’s happening. That’s kind of been our deal. It hasn’t been the conventional way. It hasn’t been the way any of us have been used to.”

Here’s an explanation as good as any: No team has had more offensive big plays than Miami this season.

The Dolphins’ 20 plays of 40 or more yards are tied with Atlanta for the most in football.

They have 15 40-plus pass plays, good for third. They have five 40-plus run plays, which is tied for first.

When you have nothing to lose, hang it out on the line...take chances, stop being so conservative....

This might just be Post of the Year, one day before the deadline.
