The Miami Dolphins boast one of the league’s most improved offensive lines, going from 20.1 points per game last season to 24.6 points to rank ninth this year. The defense, however, has lagged behind compared to most of the league’s defensive lines, allowing 24.6 points per game this year,.

The Miami Dolphins began the regular season backed to go far in the playoff, and having gone 8-6 from 14 games so far, they’re on course to reach this target. The aim now for the home side is to at least maintain or improve on their seventh seed in the AFC Conference.
