MIAMI -- Coach Mike McDaniel is leaving no stone unturned as he looks to end the Miami Dolphins' playoff drought.

Despite making the playoffs in each of McDaniel's first two seasons with the team, the Dolphins have not won a postseason game since 2000 and have just six appearances since the turn of the century. Miami won 11 games last season, but it lost four of its final six -- including a three-game losing streak to close the season.

McDaniel said he embraces the challenge of changing the narrative about his team's ability to perform in the postseason, going as far as implementing the number 24 in several staff meetings throughout the offseason.
