DARK SECRETS: Dolphins best and worst pff grades from the 2023 season | Rare Historical Photos

The Miami Dolphins have finished their 2023 campaign, as they’ve been eliminated from the postseason after losing in the wild-card round to the Kansas City Chiefs 26-7 at Arrowhead Stadium.

While the end result might’ve been disappointing, there were still many incredible things that happened around Miami Gardens this year.

Mike McDaniel’s second season brought an 11-6 record and some of the best performances of players’ careers.

With their quest for a Lombardi Trophy officially coming to a close, it’s time we look back at the year through the lens of Pro Football Focus to see just how those in aqua and orange graded out.
