21.) Miami Dolphins (1-2)

After being hyped as a team that could challenge the New England Patriots in the AFC East, the Dolphins have come out of the gates flat to start the season. Ryan Tannehill was one of the players on the Dolphins that need to take the next step, but so far he hasn’t been able to do so.

In the Dolphins’ loss to the Bills, Tannehill totaled 297 passing yards, but also had three interceptions. The Dolphins’ offense doesn’t look right in the first three games of the season, as they head to London with a huge game against the Jets coming.

20.) San Diego Chargers (1-2)

The San Diego Chargers have lost two straight after their great comeback in Week 1. The growing trend for the Chargers is that they are struggling to stop the run. Keenan Allen is having a very good season at wide receiver, as he totaled 12 receptions, 133 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns in the loss.

Two turnovers by Philip Rivers hurt the Chargers, but they were handled rather easily by the Vikings.

19.) Houston Texans (1-2)

The Houston Texans were able to earn their first win of the season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home. It appears that Ryan Mallett is their starting quarterback for good now after making his second consecutive start.

An important thing for the Texans to do in Week 3 was to find some success with their running game. Without Arian Foster, Alfred Blue was able to total 139 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown in the win. Houston is best suited for running the ball a lot so they don’t have to ask much from Mallett.
