The Miami Dolphins closed out their 2025 NFL season much like they played the majority of the season – putting up a fight in the first half only to see the third quarter decimate any hopes the team had. The Dolphins looked to upset their AFC East rivals, the New England Patriots, on Sunday, but gave up any fight after the halftime break.

The Dolphins now head into the offseason with nothing but questions that need to be answered. Miami has to figure out what they are going to do at quarterback, at head coach, and with a salary cap...

As the Miami Dolphins enter Week 18, they have nothing to play for in terms of their record or the playoffs. I do, though, hope that the team will still show up to play for pride and possibly to prove themselves for next season, whether with the Phins or another team. The New England Patriots have already secured the AFC East title, but they still have a chance to obtain home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. To surpass the Denver Broncos for the top spot in the AFC playoff seeding, the Patriots will need to perform better than the Broncos did...

The Miami Dolphins came into Week 18 facing an uphill battle against their AFC East rivals, the New England Patriots. While Miami is headed to the offseason once the game ends, the Patriots have claimed the AFC East division title for this year and enter the week with a chance to claim home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The hill only became steeper on Sunday afternoon as the teams released their respective inactive players lists.

The Dolphins have multiple starters who will watch the final game of the year. Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick had been ruled out of the game on...

The Miami Dolphins are expected to be without running back De’Von Achane and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle in their Week 18 game against the New England Patriots. Achane had been listed as doubtful on the Friday injury report as he deals with a shoulder injury while Waddle was questionable with a ribs issue. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, both players are expected to be sidelined for today’s season finale.

The Miami Dolphins beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17, coming away with a win under rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers for the first time. Although Miami is out of playoff contention and more focused on preparing for the 2026 season than on the results of this year’s games, the win was a good one and showed they have not given up. Now, as they prepare to end the season with a game against the New England Patriots, who have claimed the AFC East division title, how are fans feeling about the direction of the team?

The Miami Dolphins have added Hall of Fame quarterback and ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Troy Aikman to aid in their search to replace former general manager Chris Grier. The move comes as owner Stephen Ross looks to people outside the Dolphins organization to provide a different point of view about what the team needs and how they can move forward.

Aikman was highly critical of Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel during the team’s Week 15 Monday Night Football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Miami trailed 28-3 in the fourth quarter of the game, but put two late touchdowns on...

First on the schedule are the Carolina Panthers at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A win by Carolina locks them into the playoffs as they claim the NFC South division title. A Buccaneers win put the division title decision on the New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons...

The Miami Dolphins season will come to an end tomorrow after they take on the New England Patriots. It’s been an interesting season with plenty of ups and downs. RB De’Von Achane has had a phenomenal season while QB Tua Tagovailoa regressed and ended up being benched for a seventh round rookie. Speaking of the rookie, we should get a good glimpse of what Quinn Ewers is capable of in a tough environment. How he performs will play a big part on how the team approaches the quarterback position this upcoming offseason.
