Dolphins' 0-4 Start Tests Rebuilding Plan

The Miami Dolphins are 0-4 to open the 2026 season, with an offense that has scored no more than 13 points in any game and struggled especially through the air. Coach Jeff Hafley says he wants improvement now, while acknowledging the team is still developing; injuries, inexperience and limited supporting talent have added to the challenge. The defense has shown signs of progress after a poor start, including stronger performances against Kansas City and Minnesota, and young players are gaining significant experience. Despite the losing record, the team’s new leadership is urged to stick with its long-term rebuilding plan rather than make short-term moves that could limit opportunities for developing players.
