Miami Dolphins tied for longest Championship game drought

Miami Dolphins tied for longest Championship game drought

It has been 32 seasons (and counting) since the Miami Dolphins last made the AFC Championship game.

With the Washington Commanders advancing to the NFC Championship game this past weekend, the Miami Dolphins find themselves in a dubious position. It has been 32 seasons since this once storied franchise has made the AFC Championship game — now tied with only the Cleveland Browns for the longest such drought in the entire National Football League.

Now, technically the Browns’ last appearance in the AFC Championship game was on January 14th, 1990 when they lost 37-21 to John Elway and the [Denver...

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 had to say goodbye to several free agents last year due to their salary cap issue. The team had to let key players leave and sign better deals elsewhere. Robert Hunt went to the Carolina Panthers after signing a deal that the Dolphins were defiantly not going to match or do better. The one player that hurts the most though is Andrew Van Ginkel. He had such a...

Catching Up With the Class of the NFL

What is at the heart of the Dolphins problems?

It’s another year and another round of watching the playoffs without the Miami Dolphins being on screen. Although the Dolphins aren’t a bottom-tier team, they haven’t been a top-five team since the days of Dan Marino.

They had a small run in 2023 when they were 11-3, but that ended in three straight losses. Outside of that, I can’t point to a time when the Dolphins felt like one of the best teams in the league.

You can point to a plethora of reasons as to why that was and is,...

Tua Tagovailoa told his father he’d ‘die on the field’ for the game he loves

Tua Tagovailoa told his father he’d ‘die on the field’ for the game he loves

In a recent interview with ESPN Honolulu, Galu Tagovailoa discussed Tua’s concussions and their heart-to-heart conversation about his future.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovialoa remains one of the most polarizing players in sports. Every year, experts and analysts move the goalposts, shifting the narrative as to what QB1 can and can’t do. First, he was said to have a noodle arm and could not throw the deep ball, which he quickly proved utterly false.

Next, it was believed that he would be a YAC maven with speedy wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. That, too, was debunked — until...

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 had plenty of issues this past season thanks to a roster that wasn’t constructed that well. No surprise, but the interior offensive line was a problem and if everything goes well, there should hopefully be two new starters at the guard spots next year. The safety room may also go through an overhaul as Jevon Holland is set to be a free agent and Jordan Poyer was very...
