Overview
- Miami has won four straight and five of six after a 1-6 start, improving to 6-7.
- Pro Football Rumors reports McDaniel is likely to be retained for 2026, with the final call belonging to owner Stephen Ross.
- The defense has tightened, holding opponents to 17 points or fewer outside a Ravens loss while forcing 10 turnovers in six games.
- The Orlando Sentinel attributes a late pivot to a run-first approach partly to Tyreek Hill’s season-ending knee injury, with De’Von Achane fueling the ground game.
- A 2026 quarterback change appears unlikely due to Tua Tagovailoa’s roughly $54 million guaranteed, and Ross’s GM hire plus any interest in Jaylen Waddle or Achane could indicate the franchise’s longer-term direction.
