"Almost everyone would agree it was a failed season for the Miami Dolphins. That's now two consecutive years in which that's been the case. The Dolphins (7-10) were one game worse this season than they were in the 2024 season as coach Mike McDaniel (35-33 regular season, 35-35 overall) posted the worst record of his four-year era. As an indication of how badly things went, consider that during the season the Dolphins fired their general manager (Chris Grier) and demoted their quarterback ( Tua Tagovailoa)."
"Tagovailoa (260 of 384, 2,660 yards, 20 touchdowns, career-worst 15 interceptions, 88.5 passer rating) had a rough season. His passer rating was second-worst of his career after the 87.1 passer rating in his rookie season. Tagovailoa's passes lost their zip and he appeared to lose confidence and was eventually benched. Rookie Quinn Ewers (55 of 83, 622 yards, three touchdowns, three interceptions, 85.5 passer rating) posted a 1-2 record as a starter."
The Miami Dolphins finished 7-10, one game worse than 2024, producing the worst regular-season record of Mike McDaniel's four-year tenure. The team began 0-3, 1-6 and 2-7, prompting the firing of the general manager and the demotion of the starting quarterback. Miami strung together a midseason winning streak but went 1-6 versus playoff teams and lost seven games by double digits, including five by 22-plus points. Quarterback play was a major weakness, with Tua Tagovailoa posting career-worst interception totals and a benching, while rookie Quinn Ewers went 1-2 as a starter. De'Von Achane delivered an All-Pro level running back season.
