Entering the 2025 season the Miami Dolphins offseason focus has been changing their culture and becoming more physical. Against the Colts, they proved that nothing has changed.
Miami opened its season with a deafening 33–8 loss that has fans rethinking what this season is becoming, not what they hoped it would be. On the field, the Dolphins fell flat, and it has to be eating at owner Stephen Ross, who may already be reconsidering Mike McDaniel’s future.
No NFL owner is going to fire their head coach after an opening-season loss, but it should be enough to put the thought in his mind, should the season progress in a similar fashion.
