Miami Dolphins drop to 0-2, face concerns in multiple areas
Summary

The Miami Dolphins, with an 0-2 record after losses to Las Vegas and San Francisco, have raised concerns about their pass rush, pass coverage, special teams, and offensive line. They have recorded zero sacks in their first two games, putting them as the only team in the NFL without a sack as of their matchup on September 21, 2026. Issues plague the secondary, where lack of experience has impacted performance against opposing receivers. Special teams have also faltered, contributing to the team's struggles early in the season, while concerns about right tackle Austin Jackson persist. Analysts predict this team could struggle significantly, with forecasts suggesting a possible win total of only 2-3 games this season.
