2024 Miami Dolphins season

The 2024 season is the Miami Dolphins' 55th season in the National Football League (NFL), their 59th overall, their ninth under general manager Chris Grier and their third under head coach Mike McDaniel. The Dolphins failed to improve on their 11–6 record from last year following a loss to the division rival Buffalo Bills in Week 9. They then guaranteed a worse record following a loss to the Green Bay Packers in week 13. They still have a chance to make the playoffs for the third consecutive season. They will also attempt to snap their 23-year playoff victory drought, which is the longest active drought in the NFL.
