Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

The Miami Dolphins will be taking on the San Francisco 49ers tomorrow, in a game where both teams are almost out of the playoff picture. These two teams are very similar due to Mike McDaniel working with Kyla Shanahan for so many years and both teams have found ways to absolutely struggle this season. Both sides also have their share of injuries.

Broncos vs Charger odds, spread, winner picks, predictions for Week 16 Thursday Night

Week 16 of the 2024 NFL season begins with an AFC West matchup featuring the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers. We predict the winner.

The AFC playoff picture takes center stage for Week 16’s Thursday Night Football kickoff. Two AFC West teams, the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, faceoff in a battle for wildcard seeding. A win would lock the Broncos into the postseason, while a win and losses by the Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins would lock up a playoff berth for the Chargers. There is a lot on the line for tonight’s game.

Where did it all go wrong for the Dolphins - The Splash Zone 12/19/24

Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

After making it to the postseason the past two seasons, fans were hopeful this would be the year the Miami Dolphins finally won a playoff game. Unfortunately, we are going to have to wait another year to hopefully see that happen as the Dolphins are close to being eliminated from the playoffs after this most recent loss. A lot of things went wrong this year. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missed some time...

Phinsider Question Of The Day: Predictions For San Francisco 49ers @ Miami Dolphins

Phinsider Question Of The Day: Predictions For San Francisco 49ers @ Miami Dolphins

This week's game is between two 6 and 8 teams that in no way lived up to expectations. The San Francisco 49ers come to town this week off an ugly win to the Los Angeles Rams in which they could only score 6 points. Of course, our own Miami Dolphins did not fare much better this past weekend in a loss to the Houston Texans, in which the Phins could only score 12 points. Hopefully, the fact that an equally disappointing team is coming to town this week gives Miami somewhat of an edge in being at home. How sad...

49ers vs Dolphins betting odds: How does FanDuel view Week 16 matchup in Miami?

The Miami Dolphins host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16. How do the oddsmakers see this game playing out?

The Miami Dolphins head home in Week 16 after losing to the Houston Texans to put their AFC playoffs chances on life support. They look to bounce back as the San Francisco 49ers make the cross-country trip to Hard Rock Stadium. Typically, the west-to-east trip is a troublesome one for NFL teams, but the 49ers may avoid that issue with a 4:25 p.m. Eastern kickoff instead of the normal 1 p.m. Eastern kick for east coast teams.

How will this...

Five Things I Think I Think About the Miami Dolphins - Week 15

Five Things I Think I Think About the Miami Dolphins - Week 15

abeyance (noun) - a state of temporary inactivity

Well, here we are again at everyone’s favorite place: call it the Miami DolphinsDecember to Remember.

Every year the Fins come in with playoff hopes in their little aquatic hearts and then proceed to get tangled in a bunch of fishing nets until they fully drown in a sea of poor play.

It’s true; Miami could still make the postseason. But they won’t. And they don’t deserve to.

If I have to see Miami sitting on the bottom right of that stupid ‘In the Hunt’ playoff graphic one more time, I’m...

Around SB Nation: Patrick Mahomes dealing with a high ankle sprain

Around SB Nation: Patrick Mahomes dealing with a high ankle sprain

The Chiefs star quarterback could play this weekend or miss some time as his status is up in the air.

On Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, Patrick Mahomes sustained a high-ankle sprain and his status heading forward is up in the air. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback was listed as a full participant in yesterday’s practice, although it was pretty relaxed. The Chiefs are battling for the #1 spot in the AFC and having Mahomes on the field would make it a lot easier to obtain. But if he cannot go, Carson Wentz would be filling in for him till...

Dolphins place Grant DuBose on IR, sign a long snapper, and add two players to the practice squad

Quarterback Skylar Thompson and former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie were signed to the practice squad.

The Miami Dolphins announced four roster moves on Tuesday ahead of Sunday’s Week 16 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers.

Wide receiver Grant DuBose was placed on injured reserve. A 2023 seventh-round pick by the Green Bay Packers, he played 11 snaps Sunday against the Houston Texans before suffering a head injury on a helmet-to-helmet hit.

The Dolphins also signed Jake McQuaide — the first active long snapper on the active roster since playing Blake Ferguson on the non-football illness list on Oct....

Phinsider Question Of The Day: San Francisco 49ers You Would Steal For The Miami Dolphins

Our Miami Dolphins are consistent at one thing: disappointing us. Will it end soon or ever? I don’t know. I can still remember many painful losses going way back. I can still vividly remember losing the last Super Bowl we were in, so I have suffered a long time, but I am still here and probably never going anywhere as long as I am on this planet. So we march on, and this week, we have another game, this time against the San Francisco 49ers. This will be a home game, with the 49ers having to travel the entire width...
