The Miami Dolphins have qualified for the playoffs twice this decade and own the NFL’s second longest drought when it comes to producing a playoff win.
The Dolphins haven’t done that since 2001, and that 21-year shutout is only exceeded by the Detroit Lions’ 30-year drought.
But this could be the year the forever rebuilding-reloading-retooling Dolphins turn the tide on the franchise’s two decades of futility, because Miami’s roster is stacked with talent, some depth and a handful of playmakers who will be led by a new coaching staff, one that was propagated from one of the hottest coaching trees in the NFL.
