Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle Christian Wilkins made a bet on himself by refusing what was the Dolphins' last and best offer to sign him to an extension prior to the start of the 2023 season. It was a bet he absolutely won. Wilkins put in his best season to date and, alongside Zach Sieler, was the foundation of the defensive scheme implemented by…

Tua Tagovailoa just had the best year of his career, leading the NFL in passing yards and ranking ear the very stop in several other statistical categories. Since his debut in 2020, there has been steady improvement in his overall play. These two statements are indisputable. However, for the fourth straight season, Tagovailoa played his worst footb…

The Miami Dolphins' 2023 season has come to an end.

The Dolphins have squandered yet another opportunity to make a statement on the road in December against a legitimate opponent. If that were the only takeaway, it wouldn't be so bad.

On the heels of their biggest victory of 2023, the Miami Dolphins head to Baltimore with an opportunity to do a number of things: they can clinch the AFC East title for the first time since 2008, ensure a top 2 finish in the AFC, and give themselves the opportunity to play for a first round bye in Week 18.

When the Miami Dolphins' 2024 schedule was released, a Monday Night Football date with Ryan Tannehill and the Tennessee Titans looked like an exciting proposition.

On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins delivered one of their most complete performances of the season against the Washington Commanders.

Once again the Miami Dolphins had an opportunity to change the narrative surrounding them and demand to be taken seriously as a contender and once again they fell short. This time it was a woeful first half and series of self-inflicted wounds that ended up costing them. Bad playcalling, poor execution, and sloppy penalties were most of the cause, t…

Here we go! When the Dolphins' 2023 schedule was released, a lot of people immediately zeroed in on this game as one with significant AFC playoff implications.
