"I don't think anything that's happened before this year matters to this team,"
"We're going to have to go earn, the hard way, a win from a team that wants to win as bad as we do."
"Hopefully, they see those records, and they're just like, 'Yeah, we stand no chance; we're just going to take a knee every play.'"
The Miami Dolphins open the 2025 season at Indianapolis in a game that serves as an early test of a shift from heavy free-agent spending to building through the draft after an 8-9 2024 finish. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa must rekindle timing with receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle while the run game must provide support. Coach Mike McDaniel emphasized that past results do not matter and the team must earn a win. Miami has won its past four season openers (three under McDaniel, all with Tagovailoa). Indianapolis has not won a Week 1 game in 11 seasons. Last year’s 16-10 loss to Indianapolis came without Tagovailoa, who was on injured reserve recovering from a concussion; backups Tyler “Snoop” Huntley and Tim Boyle started.
