The Lions are the host team today as the number-one seed in the NFC Playoffs by way of their NFC best 15 and 2 record. The Washington Commanders came in second in the NFC East but earned the sixth seed in the NFC Playoffs with their 12 and 5 record.

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,...

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...

It’s Friday, so it’s time for us to welcome you to another VOTW post. Today’s open conversation prompt is just that: what is your victory for this week? Did something extraordinary happen this week?

The Miami Dolphins had little to worry about when Jason Sanders lined up for a kick.

The Miami Dolphins special teams unit is set for a makeover this offseason, but a change at kicker seems unlikely. Jason Sanders ended the year on a high note, earning AFC Special Teams Player of the Month honors for December and January.

Sanders didn’t miss a field goal after Week 8, finishing the season with a perfect 15-for-15 stretch throughout December, including 5-for-5 on attempts from 50 yards or longer. This followed a strong November, during which he went [ten-for-ten on kicks and secured...

The Miami Dolphins face tough decisions in the defensive backfield.

Jevon Holland’s four-year career with the Miami Dolphins couldn’t have started better, but he’s now on the verge of free agency after a challenging 2024 campaign.

A 2021 second-round pick, Holland started 13 games as a rookie and set career highs in passes defended (ten), quarterback hits (seven), and sacks (2.5). However, after two regime changes on defense, there are questions about whether he’s still the right fit for a franchise entering the offseason $12 million over the salary cap.

“I do [want to stay in Miami], but I’m...

The Miami Dolphins will host an international home game for the first time in Spain this upcoming season.

The Miami Dolphins are set to make history once again, as the National Football League announced Friday that an NFL game will be played in Spain for the first time in regular season history. The game will take place at Bernabéu Stadium, home to one of the greatest Futbol teams in the world, Real Madrid C.F.

Miami Dolphins Vice President and CEO Tom...

One of Mike McDaniel’s 33-year-old offensive assistants will have the chance to show his worth as a playcaller later this month at the East-West Shrine Bowl.

The 100th annual East/West Shrine game will kick off on January 30th from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and as you know, this game is a big deal for NFL draft prospects with dreams of playing on Sunday. However, for some coaches and coordinators, it’s also a unique opportunity to show the world what you’re capable of. And for one Miami Dolphins offensive assistant, that’s the opportunity to call plays in one of college...

Before Miami Dolphins games, I usually ask the following question about the upcoming opponent: Which players would you steal? We have done that for every team we have played this past season, and now we are at the time of the year when teams that were bad or struggled fire and hire new coaches, be it head coaches or coordinators/assistants. Many of our fans were on board with either or both the general manager and the head coach being fired. Since then, the owner, Stephen Ross, has stated that Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel will be back. The only coaches...
