In the past two years, the Dolphins have made it to the playoffs but have been unable to advance past the Wild Card round. This year, they suffered a 26-7 defeat in Kansas City, and in January 2023, they lost 34-31 on the road to the Bills. These early exits have put pressure on the team to prove that they are moving in the right direction this season.
According to running back Raheem Mostert, the Dolphins are determined to succeed in the playoffs and take the next step. Mostert emphasized that the team must come together and perform at their best towards the end of the season. He acknowledged that in previous years, they struggled in the first round of the playoffs and stressed that everyone must be on the same page for success. Mostert expressed his desire for them to finish strong and handle business as a united front. He highlighted that staying healthy would be crucial for their chances of making a significant impact in postseason play.
Despite scoring 21 touchdowns in their first 15 games of the 2023 season, Mostert missed their final two games due to knee and ankle injuries. He returned against Kansas City but was limited in his performance. His improved health towards the end of the season will be vital for their chances of making a deep run into postseason play.
Overall, despite facing challenges in recent seasons, Mostert expressed confidence that this year’s team is focused on overcoming those shortcomings and making a deep playoff run.
