The Miami Dolphins are rolling into U.S. Bank Stadium this Sunday, and get this: they’re 0-3, already looking ahead to the 2027 NFL Draft. Seriously. It’s brutal out there for them, especially with their best offensive guy, De’Von Achane, officially out for the entire year after tearing his ACL last week.
Miami’s Mess: A Tank Job in the Making?
These Dolphins are tied for the absolute league low with only 36 points scored so far, and their point differential is an abysmal -50. To put that in perspective, the next worst is the Green Bay Packers at -35. Yeah, it’s that bad. You gotta feel for them a little, right? I always like seeing those legacy franchises do well, but they’re already circling the drain this early in the 2026 season. Whispers are they’re on a “March for Arch,” maybe “Tanking for Trinidad,” or eyeing a talent like WR Jeremiah Smith in the draft. Whatever their plan, hope it works out.
Vikings Offense: No Excuses Left, Kyler Murray!
Remember that wild Week 4 game back in 1994 when the Dolphins visited Minneapolis? Warren Moon and Dan Marino combined for a ridiculous 757 passing yards! We went up 28-0, our defense picked Marino three times, and then, because nothing is ever easy for us, Marino went berserk and tied it 28-28. We managed to hold on for a 38-35 victory. Now, we’ve got Malik Willis, and our offense feels like it won’t hit 757 passing yards all season. This absolutely *has* to be the week Kevin O’Connell and our passing game finally make some hay at home.
Seriously, this Dolphins defense is a statistical nightmare for *them*, and a huge opportunity for *us*. They’re 28th in points allowed, dead last at 32nd in opponents’ completion percentage, 31st in QB pressures, and guess what else? They have *zero* sacks so far in the 2026 season. You read that right: zero. While they’re a respectable 12th in rush yards allowed, that’s probably just because teams find it way easier to just throw all over them. They’re giving up completions at an astonishing 80.3% clip. That’s just awful.
This parade of ineptitude puts enormous pressure on KOC, Kyler Murray, and our passing offense. This is the definition of a “get-right game.” With Aaron Jones not 100%, Jordan Mason on IR, and no one else averaging more than 3.3 yards per carry, it’s clear: we need to throw the ball. If not now, when? Seriously. “No Justin Jefferson? No problem” needs to be the mindset. If we can’t make it happen against *this* defense, then you gotta ask what exactly was going on all offseason.
