Miami Dolphins Eye Potential Wins After Bye Week
The Miami Dolphins are heading into their bye week with a disappointing 0-5 record in the 2026 season. Despite this rough start, there are four upcoming matchups that present strong opportunities for the team to secure victories.
One of the key games is against the New York Jets in Week 7, where Miami's strong pass defense, ranked 5th in the NFL, will face the Jets' struggling passing offense, ranked last. If the Dolphins can minimize turnovers, they are likely to achieve a win. In Week 8, Miami will host the New England Patriots at Hard Rock Stadium, where the local climate could give them an advantage. Historically, the Dolphins have performed well as home underdogs against division rivals.
Later in the season, Miami will again meet the Jets in a late-November rematch, where their pass rush could exploit Jets quarterback Geno Smith's difficulties under pressure. Finally, in Week 16, the Dolphins will face the Los Angeles Chargers at home. The Chargers will be traveling cross-country, and Miami hopes to take advantage of this along with their own strong performance to secure a win.
