Dolphins struggle early in the season amid concerns of a winless campaign
Summary

The Miami Dolphins enter Week 4 of the NFL season with an 0-3 record, raising questions about the possibility of a winless season. The situation worsened with the loss of running back De'Von Achane to a torn ACL, removing their best offensive player. Analysts believe the combination of a young roster and fluky game results may offer hope for at least one victory. However, history indicates that a winless season is still highly unlikely, as only four teams since the 1970 merger have finished without a win after starting 0-3.
