Last Dolphin game was a big turning point.

We beat the Fins 27-17 in 2018 to run our record to 4-1.  Most people had been outraged that Marvin was brought back after the 2017 season, but 5 games into 2018 we were looking pretty good.  We already had wins against the Falcons who had won a playoff game the year before; the Ravens who would be 2018 AFC North Champions; and the Colts who would also win a playoff game that year.  Our only loss was to the the Panthers who had won 11 games the year before.  We had outscored our opponents by 23 points which was 7th best in the league.

While 2016 and 2017 were losing seasons we had won over 42% of our games and were far from the worst team in the league.  At that point in the '18 season we were just 2 games under .500 (17-19-1) since our 5 year playoff run had ended in 2015.  And the next week Joe Mixon scored a td with just 1:20 left in the game to give us a 21-20 lead over the Steelers.

 It looked like we were ready to turn everything around,  but.  .  .  

With just 10 seconds left in the game Roethlisberger hit Antonio Brown for a 31 yard td and everything went completely to shit.

Since then we have only won 17% of our games (6-31-1).  Even with the 4-1 2018 start included we have the worst record in the league over the last three years.

This is not just a dip or a slump.  This is rock bottom.

And the the dumpster fire started after beating the Dolphins.
