Both the Miami Dolphins and Washington Redskins are both winless going into week 6 and they play each other this coming Sunday in what many are calling the “Tank Bowl”.

According to ESPN, the game between the Redskins and the Dolphins has registered the lowest matchup quality score since ESPN has started doing the scores in 2008.
Since 2008, ESPN’s Football Power Index has assigned a matchup quality score for every game each week in advance of it on a 0-100 scale.
The Redskins-Dolphins game on Sunday has registered the lowest score ever: 0.0.

Of course, fans had jokes about the quality score.
Should be flexed to SNF. This is a historic game
