The Miami Dolphins had a streaky first season under coach Mike McDaniel. A three-game winning streak was followed by three-straight losses. Five-straight wins were matched with a five-game losing streak before earning a trip to the playoffs with an 11-6 win over the New York Jets.
Miami navigated to its first postseason bout since 2016, but the journey came to a close with a 34-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the wildcard round. The Dolphins re-loaded for another shot at the playoffs with the additions of defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and defensive back Jalen Ramsey — but not everyone is convinced Miami is moving in the right direction.
