The Miami Dolphins have stumbled to a 1-3 start in the 2024 season after a disappointing loss to the Tennessee Titans, marking a stark contrast to their previous two seasons under head coach Mike McDaniel, where they began 3-0.
Historically, the Dolphins have started 1-3 11 times since joining the NFL, with their last similar start in 2021 resulting in a dismal 1-7 finish. However, they have managed to rebound from this start in the past, even making the playoffs in 2016.
As they prepare to face the New England Patriots, the Dolphins find themselves among nine teams with a 1-3 record. Recent NFL history shows that overcoming a 1-3 start is challenging, but three teams did make the playoffs in 2021 after such a start, emphasizing the importance of their upcoming game.
