The Miami Dolphins lost their first preseason game of 2023 on Friday when the Atlanta Falcons visited South Florida. While the 19-3 loss was not pretty, especially down the stretch when mistakes and penalties crushed any rhythm the team tried to find, the final result really does not mean much. As head coach Mike McDaniel explained on Sunday, “The second that 2008 happened, I cared a lot less about preseason games. What happened in 2008? The Detroit Lions went 4-0. And then you go 0-16, and you’re like, okay, well … I don’t see the correlate and vice versa.
