The Miami Dolphins ended the season with a 30-12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round at Heinz Field. Here is a look at the season and what’s next:
Season grade: A-minus
Season summary: The Dolphins exceeded everyone’s expectations this season by winning 10 games and advancing to the playoffs for the first time since 2008. Most pundits projected Miami to win 6 to 8 games this season, which was a fair assessment of the roster, especially after big injuries to key players such as center Mike Pouncey (hip), safety Reshad Jones (shoulder) and quarterback Ryan Tannehill (knee).
