The Miami Dolphins wrapped up a disappointing season with a 32-20 loss to the New York Jets, finishing with a record of 8-9. The season finale highlighted the team's struggles, featuring turnovers and poor performance across the board. Despite a promising day from rookie running back De'Von Achane, who rushed for 121 yards, the overall ground game was underwhelming. Quarterback Tyler Huntley had a nightmarish performance, raising doubts about his future role.
On defense, the Dolphins managed to contain the Jets' rushing game but were unable to effectively defend against quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who threw four touchdowns. The special teams unit stood out positively, led by kicker Jason Sanders. However, coaching decisions, particularly from head coach Mike McDaniel, were heavily criticized, contributing to the team's disappointing season.
