Former Dolphins star believed they would win a Super Bowl by 50 points
Recently released Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb says he thought his team would win the Super Bowl by 50 points no matter who they played.
The early years of the Mike McDaniel Era for the Miami Dolphins had a different feel, especially in 2023, when the team did some unbelievable things, like dropping 70 points on the Denver Broncos in Week 3. Performances like that had fans and players believing that the sky was the limit for the Dolphins , including linebacker Bradley Chubb. Chubb, who was released this offseason and has found a new home with the rival Buffalo Bills, recently appeared on former Dolphins offensive tackle Terron Armstead's podcast and spoke about the 2023 team.
"I feel like 100%, man, with the talent we had, the buy-in we had, the mindset we had, I feel like, I heard you allude to this on a different episode, but we just couldn't stay healthy," Chubb said. "It was just like devastating injury after devastating injury after devastating injury. It was boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
"So it was hard to get the mojo back, but bro, I'm telling you, Week 3, when we played Denver, we put up 70. I said, bro, we're winning the Super Bowl by 50 points. It doesn't matter who we play.
And one thing I wish we did that season, though, was finish out those tough games that got us the label of, oh, they can't play the hard game. You know what I mean? They can't win the hard game.
