The Miami Dolphins experienced a tumultuous 2024 NFL season, finishing with an 8-9 record and missing the playoffs for the first time under head coach Mike McDaniel. The season began with promise, securing a 20-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. However, the team faced significant challenges, including a mid-season six-game losing streak and the loss of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to a concussion in Week 2, leading to his placement on injured reserve. Despite these setbacks, the Dolphins rallied with a 6-2 run in the latter part of the season, highlighted by standout performances from defensive linemen Zach Sieler and Calais Campbell, as well as running back De'Von Achane. Pro Bowl tight end Jonnu Smith also made significant contributions. The season concluded with a 32-20 loss to the New York Jets in Week 18, officially eliminating the Dolphins from playoff contention. Looking ahead, the team faces an offseason of potential changes, including decisions regarding the future of veteran left tackle Terron Armstead, who is contemplating retirement. Despite the challenges, the Dolphins aim to regroup and address key areas to return stronger in the 2025 season.#MiamiDolphins #FinsUp #NFL2024 #SeasonRecap #TuaTagovailoa #MikeMcDaniel #ZachSieler #CalaisCampbell #JonnuSmith #TerronArmstead
