Dolphins 2023 schedule looks good for their playoff odds
The Miami Dolphins snuck into the playoffs at 9-8, but who knows what could have been if Tua Tagovailoa hadn’t been concussed multiple times during the season. The Dolphins were 8-5 with Tua at the helm, but got two starts each from Skylar Thompson and Teddy Bridgewater as injuries really derailed what looked to be a very promising season. Miami lost five of the last six regular season games and then came up short in a 34-31 loss to the Bills in the Wild Card Round, but Miami was outgained by nearly 200 yards in what was a close game in score only.

Miami Dolphins schedule this year
The highlight of Miami’s schedule is a visit to take on the Chiefs in Frankfurt, Germany in Week 9. The schedule features the AFC West and the NFC East, to go along with six tough games within the division. The second-place schedule for Miami adds the Ravens on the road, as well as the Titans and Panthers at home. All things considered, this is a pretty decent schedule for the Dolphins given the tough draw of being in the AFC East and facing the entirety of two of the league’s best divisions.
