Looking to Extend the Winning Streak

Looking to Extend the Winning Streak

The Miami Dolphins find themselves at a pivotal point in the 2025 season. Currently sitting at 5–7, the Dolphins have a chance to turn the tide as they face a favorable opponent this week. With momentum building, a return to .500 is within reach. After a disappointing 1–6 start, the Dolphins have shown signs of life, winning three straight games and four of their last five. This late-season surge has energized the team and fans alike, providing hope that the remainder of the season can still be salvaged.

A major factor in Miami’s resurgence has been the dynamic play of De’Von Achane, who has emerged as a consistent threat on the ground. In the recent win over the New Orleans Saints, Achane rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown, including a game-opening 29-yard burst that set the tone. His ability to break tackles and gain yards after contact has given the Dolphins a much-needed offensive spark, allowing the passing game to find more room to operate.

Defensively, the Dolphins have also tightened up, with veterans like Minkah Fitzpatrick leading the charge and making key plays in critical moments. Reliable kicking from Riley Patterson has provided stability in close contests, helping the team convert scoring opportunities and maintain momentum. 

A win against the Jets would not only move Miami to 6–7, just one game under .500, but also continue their late-season resurgence and keep playoff hopes alive, however slim. The Jets, struggling at 3–9, provide a favorable matchup, but Miami cannot afford to be complacent. Turnovers, penalties, and missed opportunities could still derail the team’s efforts, making focus and execution paramount. For a team that struggled early in the season, this matchup represents a critical opportunity to build momentum and prove that the Dolphins are trending in the right direction.

With confidence high and a favorable matchup ahead, all eyes will be on Miami as they look to extend their winning streak and take a major step toward salvaging the season. A strong performance could not only restore faith in the team’s potential but also energize the fan base and set the tone for the final stretch of the year.
