The Miami Dolphins season is officially over after their week 18 loss to the New England Patriots. Now begins a busy offseason for the Dolphins as they embark on their general manager search. We should hear more about that search starting tomorrow and we should have a better understanding of Mike McDaniel’s future with the team. Perhaps the Dolphins will be looking for a new head coach too, but the general consensus is that McDaniel is safe. But you never know.

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

The 2025 NFL regular season came to an end on Sunday, finishing the 18-week battle for a spot in the playoff picture. The end of the regular season also sets up one of the first major events of the 2026 NFL league year, with the first round of the NFL Draft coming into focus. While the playoffs will settle the final third of the draft order, the first-round order for the non-playoff teams is now set.

Unfortunately, the Miami Dolphins are included among those non-playoff teams, allowing us to know where the team, barring any trades, will be picking when...

The 2025-2026 NFL regular season ends this evening with an AFC North showdown for all the marbles. The Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers both need a victory this evening to earn a spot in the AFC Playoffs. The winner of this evening’s game will also secure the AFC North title and the 4th overall seed in the AFC Playoffs. The loser this evening will be sent home to prepare for next season.

Please use this thread to follow this evening’s two MNF games and, as always, to discuss your Miami Dolphins. Please follow all site rules in the live...

The Miami Dolphins’ 2025 season ended on Sunday, bringing to a close a highly disappointing season and leaving the team with a lot of questions that need to be answered. The team has already made a change at general manager, where Chris Grier was let go in the middle of the season, but there could still be a change at head coach, with Mike McDaniel’s status up in the air, and the team has to decide what to do with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who was benched during the season, but is slated to account for a $56.4 million cap hit...

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.

Miami, 7-9 on the season, is playing out the end of their 2025 regular season schedule then heading into an offseason that will be filled with change after a disappointing year....

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?

Fan confidence jumps...

The NFL concludes the 2025 regular season on Sunday, with 14 games scheduled for the day after two games on Saturday. Six games will start the day in the early afternoon timeslot, followed by seven games in the late afternoon window. The day, and season, concludes with a Sunday Night Football grudge match for the AFC North crown.

Throughout the day, playoff seeding will be finalized, as will the first 18 picks of the 2026 NFL Draft and the opponent matchups for next year. It is a big day, even for teams that are not in playoff contention.

The Miami Dolphins visit the New England Patriots on Sunday as part of the NFL’s Week 18 schedule as the 2025 regular season comes to a close.
