Baltimore at Miami, 10 a.m. Sunday, Ch. 7
The Ravens won at Miami back on Oct. 19, and all the Dolphins have done since is win nine of 10 games to match the largest season turnaround in league history. Miami won 10 more games than it did last season, becoming just the second team to increase its win total by 10 games from the year before. (The 1999 Colts went 13-3 after being 3-13 the previous season.) The Ravens defense has always been formidable; it's the offense that turned out to be surprisingly adequate this season under first-year coach John Harbaugh and rookie quarterback Joe Flacco. The Ravens' scoring rose by 6.9 points per game over last season, the fifth-largest increase in the league this year.
