The Miami Dolphins’ expectations for the upcoming season

In the last two seasons, the Miami Dolphins made it to the playoffs, but despite their efforts, they were always behind the Buffalo Bills and failed to advance past the Wild Card round.

This year, the team features not only one of the league’s most accurate quarterbacks, Tua Tagovailoa, but also boasts unique offensive talents like WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, along with RB Raheem Mostert and the recent addition of experienced former Giants and Browns player Odell Beckham Jr

With that said, under the guidance of Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins will strive to secure the top spot in the AFC East, aiming to bypass the Wild Card round and reach the coveted Super Bowl next February.
