Ryan Fitzpatrick expects difficult season for the Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins travel to Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, to face the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday in a Week 1 matchup. Former quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick noted on his podcast that the outcome of this game could set the trajectory for the Dolphins' 2026 season. Fitzpatrick suggested that a loss to the Raiders could result in a winless campaign for the Miami roster. He pointed to the team's challenging schedule and current dead cap situation as obstacles for the coaching staff, led by Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan. The team has not recorded a victory yet this season, and the upcoming game represents a primary opportunity to secure a win before facing a series of difficult opponents. If the team fails to secure a victory throughout the year, they would become the first NFL franchise to finish a 17-game season with an 0-17 record.
