The Miami Dolphins: Winners, Losers, and Aquatic Mammals (Mostly Winners in 2023)
Ah, the Miami Dolphins. Those sleek, speedy creatures of the deep... wait, wrong Miami Dolphins. We're here to talk about the gridiron warriors, the aqua-and-orange clad fighters of the NFL. Specifically, how many times did they paint the town aqua (with wins, that is) in 2023? Buckle up, because we're about to dive deep...ish (not that deep, it's mostly about football).
So, How Many Wins Did the Fins Actually Pull Off in 2023?
Drumroll please... They snagged a cool 11 wins! That's right, folks, 11 victories that had South Florida fans splashing with joy (though hopefully not actually splashing on the field, that's a penalty).
Now, 11 wins might not sound like world domination, but for the Dolphins, it was a significant improvement over the previous two seasons. They finally broke the 9-8 curse and secured a playoff berth for the second year in a row. Take that, you pesky AFC East foes!
But Wait, There's More!
Here's a little bonus for all you die-hard fans:
- They clinched a playoff spot with a win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16. Talk about a statement win!
- Their record (including those sweet 11 wins) was 11-6. That's a pretty darn good winning percentage.
Maybe this year will be the year they finally take home the Lombardi trophy (one can dream, right?).
Fins Trivia: Did You Know?
- The Dolphins are actually named after the Miami Flippers, a failed professional AFL team that folded before the Dolphins even took the field.
- Their mascot, Dolphins Don, used to wear a toga. But hey, fashion trends change, right?
