The Miami Dolphins are gearing up for the 2025 NFL season, with a keen focus on improving their offensive performance, particularly the synergy between quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and dynamic wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Historical data shows a stark contrast in the Dolphins’ success based on the performance of these two playmakers: Miami boasts an impressive 11-0 record and an average of 35 points per game when Hill surpasses 100 receiving yards. Conversely, their fortunes plummet to a 7-16 record and just 18 points per game when he falls short of that mark. Meanwhile, Waddle’s triple-digit receiving yard games have led to a 9-3 record.

The team struggled in 2024, witnessing both Hill and Waddle post their worst seasons in Miami. Hill missed the Pro Bowl for the first time, while Waddle’s yardage dropped to a disappointing 744. With defenses increasingly using two-high safety shells to limit the duo's deep threats, the Dolphins will need to balance their passing game with a resurgent run game to regain their offensive potency. Head Coach Mike McDaniel emphasized the need for a versatile offensive strategy to keep defenses guessing, especially after their rushing attack faltered last year.
