Just keep swimming.
The Miami Dolphins aren’t going to the postseason in 2025, barring a miracle, but the team still has plenty to play for. Everyone in the NFL is replaceable, meaning players and coaches will use these final weeks to solidify jobs for 2026 and beyond.
After a difficult start to the season, the Dolphins have won two straight – knocking off the rival Buffalo Bills and then the Washington Commanders in Madrid. Winners in three of their last four, it remains to be seen how this impacts the Dolphins moving forward.
They already fired the general manager, Chris Grier, but the fates of head coach Mike McDaniel and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in Miami are still very much up in the air.
While the Dolphins can now enjoy some time off, they are well positioned for a positive finish to the season. Miami has six games left and three of them are against teams under .500. For now, they can spend some time relaxing in the sun before the swim to the finish continues.
Here’s what to know about Week 12.
