The Dolphins finished the regular season 13-4, good enough to win the AFC East and secure the #2 seed in the playoffs. The team's offense, while still average in most categories, was improved from last season. This was particularly true for the rushing attack, where HB Ronald Jones ran for 1,144 yards and 20 TDs behind a much improved offensive line. WR Jaylen Waddle took a step forward in his 2nd season, racking up 1,105 receiving yards and 14 TDs on 63 catches, with a kick return TD as well. Free agent acquisition was quick to carve out a role for himself with his new team, finishing 2nd on the team with 904 receiving yards with a kick return TD of his own. Defensively, both off ball linebackers, Roquan Smith and Jerome Baker, finished with over 100 total tackles. EDGE Jaelan Phillips (previously profiled) led the team, and AFC, in sacks with 13.5 on way to winning the AFC Best LB award. The team's #1 ranked passing defense had a three-way tie for interceptions, with Xavien Howard, Brandon Jones, and DJ Brown each recording 5 interceptions on the season. The Dolphins will host the Los Angeles Chargers in the wild card round, a team they previously beat in the regular season.
