It’s clear the Miami Dolphins have been struggling this season, especially after losing Tua Tagovailoa to a concussion. Apart from that incident, the team is also dealing with Tyreek Hill and how he’s performing on the field, as seen in a statistic that showed how he has been playing lately.
The Dolphins are sticking with quarterback Tyler Huntley as they grapple with a dismal offensive performance in the absence of Tagovailoa. After a 31-12 loss to the Tennessee Titans, the Dolphins find themselves at 1-3, with the worst scoring offense in the league. Huntley, the team’s third starting quarterback in four weeks, struggled significantly, throwing for just 78 yards and failing to establish chemistry with Hill, who had a mere 23 yards.
Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Huntley will start again in Week 5 against the New England Patriots, as Skylar Thompson deals with a rib injury. Despite Huntley’s short time with the team, having signed just two weeks prior, his lack of familiarity with the offense has been evident. He missed several key opportunities, including a potential long touchdown pass to Hill.
The Dolphins’ offensive woes extend beyond the quarterback position; they have not found the end zone in ten consecutive quarters before a late touchdown in the last game. McDaniel acknowledged the need for offensive adjustments, including reevaluating play-calling strategies to better suit Huntley’s skill set.
Defensively, the Dolphins have performed well, limiting opponents on third downs, but procedural mistakes have hampered their progress. As they prepare for a critical matchup against the Patriots, the Dolphins must address their offensive struggles and look for ways to reignite their scoring potential. With Tagovailoa still in concussion protocol, the pressure is on Huntley and the coaching staff to turn things around quickly.
Tyreek Hill’s Crazy Stat Does Not Bode Well for Miami Dolphins
Hill’s recent performance hasn’t gone unnoticed. This is shown in a tweet by Ian Haritz on his official X account.

Hill has seen a decline in his performance this season, raising questions about the impact of his recent legal troubles and team instability. Arrested just before the season opener, Hill managed a strong debut but has since struggled, recording only 10 catches for 80 yards in the following three games.
With Tagovailoa sidelined due to injury, the Dolphins have faced significant challenges. As the quarterback prepares to return in Week 8, Hill’s performance could potentially improve, offering hope for a turnaround in the Dolphins’ fortunes.
