** Florida Teams Suffer Historic Losses in Football, Miami Dolphins Face Crucial Test
Florida's football teams experienced a unprecedented losing streak this weekend, with all state-based FBS, FCS, and NFL teams collectively going 0-11. This marks the first time in the FBS era (1978-present) that a single state has achieved such a record of futility. The losses spanned various divisions, including top-tier NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), and the National Football League (NFL). Only Florida International, which was on bye, managed to avoid defeat.
The Miami Dolphins now face a critical test as they prepare to take on the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night. As underdogs, the pressure is on for them to deliver a win and break the state's losing streak.
