- The Miami Dolphins have run the 10th-least plays in the league this year, totaling a mere 56.1 plays per game.
- The Miami Dolphins offensive line grades out as the 7th-worst in the NFL this year in protecting the quarterback, which has a negative impact on all pass game metrics across the board.
