The 2024 season is the Miami Dolphins' 55th season in the National Football League (NFL), their 59th overall, their ninth under general manager Chris Grier and their third under head coach Mike McDaniel. The Dolphins failed to improve on their 11–6 record from last year following a loss to the division rival Buffalo Bills in Week 9. They seek to make the playoffs for the third consecutive season, and end their 15-year AFC East title drought. They will also attempt to snap their 23-year playoff victory drought, which is the longest active drought in the NFL.
