American Football Conference · AFC East
The Miami Dolphins were founded in 1965 in Miami, Florida. They play home games at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, where the club is also headquartered. The franchise is owned by Stephen Ross, with Jon-Eric Sullivan serving as general manager and Jeff Hafley as head coach. The Dolphins have experienced stretches of both promise and frustration over the years covered here. After hovering around .500 in the early 2010s, they broke through with a 10–6 playoff campaign in 2016, only to fall back to 6–10 the following year. A rebuild bottomed out at 5–11 in 2019 before consecutive 10–6 and 9–8 seasons restored competitiveness. The 2023 squad posted an 11–6 record and reached the postseason, but subsequent years have seen regression—8–9 in 2024, 7–10 in 2025, and an 0–2 start to 2026. The current roster features running back De'Von Achane, quarterback Malik Willis, and edge rusher Chop Robinson among the notable names, with Bobby Slowik coordinating the offense.

“Fifth-round rookie Kevin Coleman, a shifty, undersized player with toughness going over the middle, should be a lock.”
