Dolphins and Browns lead NFL rookie contributions

The Miami Dolphins are relying heavily on their rookie class, with 14 first-year players contributing significantly this season. Despite this, they have yet to win a game, standing 14th in the NFL after five matches, all losses. The Cleveland Browns also depend on newcomers and have won three of their five games, placing them 8th in the league.

Both teams compete in the NFL, with the Dolphins in the AFC East division and the Browns in the AFC North division. The Dolphins have struggled defensively, reflected in their goal difference of -62, while the Browns have a goal difference of -19. Miami's recent form shows five consecutive losses, whereas Cleveland has won three of their last five matches.

The Dolphins will next face the New York Jets on 25 October, aiming to improve their record. The Browns, having just lost 17-12 to the Jets on 11 October, will look to build on their mixed results as the season progresses.
