The Miami Dolphins showcased the NFL's most effective offense in a specific situation during the 2025 season. Under former head coach Mike McDaniel, the team achieved a league-high 16.24 EPA while utilizing 22 personnel, which includes two running backs and two tight ends. Although the Dolphins finished with a subpar 7-10 record, their offense averaged 7.2 yards per play and 19.3 passing yards per game in this formation. Following McDaniel's departure, the Dolphins promoted Bobby Slowik to offensive coordinator to maintain a similar offensive strategy for 2026, aiming to leverage the strengths of new personnel such as Greg Dulcich and either Ben Sims or Will Kacmarek.
