The Miami Dolphins are on a three game win streak thanks in large part to a running game that is working so well at the moment. However, the same cannot be said for the Dolphins passing attack. It’s been a struggle all season and QB Tua Tagovailoa just hasn’t looked like himself out there. Between some bad decision making and some errant throws, Tua’s limitations have been highlighted a ton this year. Not sure where the Tua from two years ago went, but perhaps the numerous injuries and concussions are catching up to him.

Well, that went the way we wanted, but maybe not the way we wanted it done!?! I am, of course, talking about the last game our Miami Dolphins played against the New Orleans Saints. Miami did their normal thing against bad teams, where they seem to dominate the game overall while also finding any way possible to give it away. I can see a way that this current team could make it to the playoffs, but what for? So we can have a lower draft pick while also having the team humiliated on the field in their first-round game? Anyway,...

The Miami Dolphins re-signed offensive lineman Kion Smith on Tuesday, this time to the practice squad — bringing back the 27-year-old after cutting him and tight end Hayden Rucci to make room for the returns of tight end Darren Waller and right tackle Austin Jackson late last week.
Rucci was claimed by the Detroit Lions yesterday, however Miami was able to hold onto Smith after he cleared waivers.
Smith originally signed with Miami all the way back in September of 2021 after the undrafted rookie did not make the Atlanta Falcons 53-man roster. He spent that season on the team’s...

The Miami Dolphins have won their last three games and four of their last five contests. The wins – other than the Week 10 victory over the Buffalo Bills – have not been the prettiest victories ever, but they all count the same at the end of the day. Heading into Week 14, Miami faces the New York Jets for the second time this year, and the oddsmakers think the Dolphins will finish the season sweep of their AFC East rivals.
The Dolphins beat the Jets in Week 4, Miami’s lone win in the first seven weeks of the season....

After taking a 16-0 lead into halftime against the New Orleans Saints in week thirteen, the Miami Dolphins found themselves needing some late game magic to claim victory at home coming off of the bye week. However, in this contest, the late game heroics didn’t come from Miami’s offense — it was the defense that saved the day on Sunday.
Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough and second-year wide receiver Devaughn Vele got into a groove during the late stages of Sunday’s game in Miami, putting up big numbers en route to the near comeback. However, it was a phenomenal defensive...

To be clear, the Miami Dolphins are absolute long shots to make the playoffs this season. They need so much help from other teams and they have to win out, to have any chance at all. Unfortunately, the Dolphins didn’t get much help this past weekend even though they won their game. It’s looking bleak for Miami but until they are officially eliminated from the playoffs, we will have to have this discussion on a weekly basis.

On Monday, the Detroit Lions claimed former Miami Dolphins tight end Hayden Rucci. Rucci was waived by Miami on Saturday alongside offensive lineman Kion Smith to make room for the returns of tight end Darren Waller and starting right tackle Austin Jackson.
There were some rumblings about the Dolphins desire to return Rucci to the team’s practice squad once he cleared waivers, but Monday’s claim by the Lions will thwart that rumored plan.
Rucci was in his second season with the Dolphins after being signed by the club after going undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft. The former four-year Wisconsin...

The Miami Dolphins have now won three games in a row, defeating the New Orleans Saints by a score of 21-17 in Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season. Though the game never should have been close, the Dolphins managed to hold on and fight off a late Saints comeback to secure the victory.
Here’s three reasons why the Dolphins got the win.
This win had Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver’s fingerprints all over it.
Through the first two quarters, the Dolphins held the Saints to zero points, forced two turnovers, and allowed just 63 total...

The Miami Dolphins survived some incredible late-game madness in week thirteen to outlast the New Orleans Saints by a score of 21-17 to win their third straight game — pulling their record to 5-7 after starting the season a woeful 1-5.
After taking a 16-0 lead at half, the Dolphins’ offense managed to put just three points on the scoreboard during the final two quarters of play, while the Saints — led by rookie quarterback Tyler Shough and 2024 7th-round wide receiver Devaughn Vele — put up 17 second-half points, and were a 2-point conversion away from tying the game...

The Miami Dolphins took on the New Orleans Saints yesterday and it was a bit too close for comfort. The Dolphins offense started out hot with some great play from the run game and then they decided they wanted to throw the ball. QB Tua Tagovailoa just didn’t have a good game and that is becoming a normal thing as of late. It was not pretty at all, but the win keeps the Dolphins slim hopes alive as they enter December.
