The 2025 Miami Dolphins have struggled throughout the season, sitting at 4-7. However, they are still have a playoff possibility given the state of parity that seems to have hit the AFC this year. Despite this being Miami’s bye week, the Dolphins could find themselves in even better positioning by the end of the weekend.

What needs to happen for the Dolphins this weekend? We take a look at the schedule and break down the Miami rooting guide.

AFC playoff picture (through Thursday Week 12)

1 – Denver Broncos (9-2, AFC West leader)
2 – New England Patriots (9-2,...

Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season is here, with teams looking to position themselves for the postseason over the final seven weeks of the year. There are plenty of story lines for today’s games, including the 5-5 Kansas City Chiefs trying to fight their way into a postseason position against a surprising 8-2 Indianapolis Colts, the AFC North leading Pittsburgh Steelers visiting the NFC North leading Chicago Bears to see if Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers still owns his former division rivals, and the first start for quarterback Shedeur Sanders with the Cleveland Browns.

There are no more international games...

The Miami Dolphins have won their last two games, their first back-to-back wins of the year. Coming out of victories over their AFC East rivals, the Buffalo Bills, and the Washington Commanders in the league’s first regular-season game in Spain, Miami is enjoying its bye week this weekend before it makes a final six-week run to the end of the season.

Week 12 fan confidence survey results

This has been a rough season for the Dolphins and the team’s fans. Our weekly fan confidence survey has dropped as low as three percent (Week 7), and has had single-digit responses...

With our Miami Dolphins on their bye week this week, I asked the following question;

What is your biggest surprise of the season as it applies to your Miami Dolphins to this point? This can be a good or happy surprise, or an unwelcome surprise. Pretty much anything that you did not see coming before this mostly ugly season began.

Below are some of your thoughts and answers-

I’ll give a good and bad surprise.

Good: McD getting play calls in quicker giving Tua more time to actually...

The Miami Dolphins take back-to-back wins into their Week 12 bye week, giving them a chance to reinforce what has worked over the last two games as they try to make an improbable run through the second half of the 2025 NFL season. While we will not have the stress and roller coaster of emotions that seem to come with every Dolphins game this year, we still have football to watch. Which games will you get to see tomorrow?

On CBS during the early afternoon window, Florida is split with the Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs game, like most...

The Miami Dolphins are slowly clawing their way out of the depths as they enter the bye week on a win streak. Out of the bye, the schedule is still pretty soft for the Dolphins and there is a chance they can make some noise over the next month. But they will need certain players to step up and make more contributions. Edge rusher Chop Robinson was expected to have a sort of breakout year with how he finished his rookie season. But he has been pretty invisible out on the football field and with Jaelen Phillips gone, someone has...

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for our Victory of the Week (VOTW) post! This evening’s conversation prompt is straightforward: What was your victory this week? Did something remarkable happen? Is there a small achievement worth celebrating? This could relate to the Miami Dolphins, your professional life, or your personal life. We all experience victories, big or small, and we want to hear about yours.

This post is for you, our site members, who are part of our Phinsider family. This is your opportunity to share your successes from the past week. Your triumphs can be significant, such as the...

One day after the Miami Dolphins placed cornerback JuJu Brents on injured reserve and poached another defensive back off the Los Angeles Rams practice squad, the team has once again made a move on the defensive side of the ball.

According to the Miami Dolphins, the team has placed safety Jordan Colbert on the injured reserve list. The 25-year-old defensive back out of Rhode Island signed with Miami in 2024 as an undrafted free agent.

Earlier this year, Colbert moved to linebacker, a move that linebackers coach and run-game coordinator Joe Barry seemed excited about. [Here’s what he said back...

When Tyreek Hill was lost for the season, all eyes turned towards Jaylen Waddle who has acted as the second or third option in this Miami Dolphins offense since Hill arrived. Some were skeptical if Waddle could take on that main role due to him not being a big focal point and Hill seeing more targets. But Waddle has silenced those critics and has shown he can and will be a cornerstone player for this team to build around.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.

[It turns out the Dolphins actually...

Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season kicks off with the Buffalo Bills visiting the Houston Texans in a Thursday Night Football showdown. Both teams are looking to position themselves in the AFC playoff picture, with the Bills 7-3 on the year and in second place in the AFC East while the Texans are 5-5 and in third place in the AFC South.

When it comes to the AFC playoff standings, the Bills are fifth, the top wild-card team in the conference. For Houston, they are currently eighth, the first team on the outside looking in.

Throughout the season, our...

Week 12 of the NFL schedule kicks off this evening with the Buffalo Bills traveling to Texas this evening to take on the Houston Texans. The Bills are fresh off their bounce-back game over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 44-32, after their blowout loss to our own Miami Dolphins, 30-13. Houston enters the week off a two-game win streak, including last week’s victory over the Tennessee Titans, 16-13.
