While it\u2019s been a horrendous 2025 season for Miami, there are only two more games to go until we mercifully get a break from getting our hopes dashed week in and week out by a club that is functioning like an airplane with one wing \u2014 spiraling to its inevitable end.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In week sixteen, the Dolphins showed promise in the first half of play \u2014 trailing Joe Burrow, Chase Brown, Ja\u2019Marr Chase and the Cincinnati Bengals by just three points despite starting rookie 7th round quarterback Quinn Ewers instead of longtime starter Tua Tagovailoa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The second half was a different story, however. Cincinnati scored 21 points in the third quarter, Miami scored none, and that was basically all she wrote for that one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thephinsider.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Miami Dolphins<\/a> Week Sixteen MVP &#8211; RB De\u2019Von Achane<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Much like most of the 2025 season, De\u2019Von Achane was one of the very few bright spots for the Dolphins against the Bengals. He carried the ball just 15 times, but totaled 81 yards rushing (5.4 yards per carry) and a 48 yard scoring scamper early in the contest. He tacked on three receptions for 9 yards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">While some questioned if a player of his diminutive stature could cement himself as a true workhorse back in this league, Achane continues to prove doubters wrong by excelling in 2025. He is absolutely a player you build around and should continue to be the club\u2019s focal point on offense moving forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Extension talks should heat up with Achane\u2019s representatives this upcoming offseason, and I, for one, hope a deal gets done quickly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week One &#8211; RB De\u2019Von Achane<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week Two &#8211; WR\/PR Malik Washington<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week Three &#8211; RB Ollie Gordon II<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week Four &#8211; TE Darren Waller<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week Five &#8211; WR Jaylen Waddle<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week Six &#8211; RB De\u2019Von Achane<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week Seven &#8211; RB De\u2019Von Achane<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week Eight &#8211; LB Jordyn Brooks<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week Nine &#8211; OL Daniel Brunskill<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week Ten &#8211; RB De\u2019Von Achane<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week Eleven &#8211; LB Jordyn Brooks<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week Thirteen &#8211; SAF Minkah Fitzpatrick<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week Fourteen &#8211; CB Rasul Douglas<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week Fifteen &#8211; TE Darren Waller<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Week Sixteen &#8211; RB De\u2019Von Achane<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Take a deep breath, Dolphins fans.
