The NFL playoffs kick off this weekend, and for the first time in Mike McDaniel's tenure as head coach, the Miami Dolphins will not be part of the postseason pa

The Miami Dolphins missed the postseason this year after making back-to-back trips under head coach Mike McDaniel. The team took a step back in several ways this season, and they were limited in the early part of the year due to Tua Tagovailoa's injury issues.

Here are nine stats that tell the story of the Dolphins’ disappointing 2024 campaign: The Dolphins averaged 5.2 yards per carry, the best rate in the NFL, during their prolific 2023 season. While 4.0 may not seem like that drastic of a decline, it was the difference between the team finishing first place last year and 29th in 2024.

A statistical breakdown of the 2024 Miami Dolphins paints a stark picture of why the team failed to reach the playoffs.

The Miami Dolphins ended their season last Sunday with an ugly loss to the New York Jets that included an ugly situation with their star wide receiver, Tyreek Hill. The 30-year-old seemed to quit on his team by refusing to go back in the game in the second half, which led to him later implying he wanted out of Miami.

Tyreek Hill is committed to the Dolphins, his agent says, despite the star wide receiver seeming to indicate otherwise last week.
