The Miami Dolphins had some solid teams over the last few years, but they just can’t seem to string together a playoff run. Their last five playoff appearances have all been one-and-done, getting eliminated in the wild-card round. The most recent first-round defeat came last year, when they lost, 26-7, to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Their last playoff win was in 2000, and they have not advanced further than the divisional round since 1985. Safe to say, the playoffs have not been a good time for Miami.
The Dolphins are looking for a different result this season and believe they have what it takes to reverse this first-round playoff curse.
Running back Raheem Mostert knows that all that matters is how a team plays under the brightest of lights. While some players like to put the past behind them, he is choosing to use the past as motivation to change the narrative of the team.
“We’re an outstanding team, and it has to just click at the end of the year,” Mostert said (via NFL.com). “I was telling the reporters, man, I’d take an 0-8 start to make it deep into the playoffs, right, and trying to get to that championship round. One of our biggest kryptonites has always been that first round. That’s gonna be harped on this year. People are gonna say all these different types of things, but we can’t make excuses.”
