The Dolphins had a solid showing in the playoffs this year, making it to the AFC Conference Championship game. In the wildcard round the Dolphins took down the Chargers in a wild comeback victory that came down to the final play of the game, 35-31. The team's inconsistent play in the wildcard round is best exemplified by QB Tua Tagovailoa's statline, finishing 19-21 with 349 yards, 3 TDs and his only 2 incompletions being interceptions including a pick-6. Jaylen Waddle shined, going off for 183 receiving yards. In the divisional round the Dolphins beat the Titans in a game that was closer than the final score indicated, 25-10. The Dolphins' run defense, typically a relative weakness, showed up in force in this one, holding superstar HB Derrick Henry to 20 yards on 7 carries and forcing a key turnover and downs where Henry only had to pick up 1 yard. HB Ronald Jones did his best Henry impersonation, rushing for 178 yards on 22 carries and breaking multiple tackles. The Dolphins' playoff run finally came to an end in the Conference Championship, losing in blowout fashion for the second straight year to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs. If any positive could be taken away from the loss, it was that the team stayed in the game for longer than they did in last year's playoff loss. It is impossible to place the blame on any one player, as the entire team struggled in each phase of the game. The Dolphins will look to keep building on their recent success in the offseason, where they will benefit from having 2 1st round picks but have to work around limited cap room.
