1823:, stepped down as Vice President of Football Operations, but remained as a consultant. He was later criticised for not making the right choices to improve the team. Ronnie Brown was back from his leg injury the previous year, and Ricky Williams also returned (while many speculated he would retire). Off-season moves included acquiring WR Brandon Marshall from Denver. The Dolphins got off to a good start by winning their first two matches (both on the road) against Buffalo and Minnesota, but lost at home in Week 3 to the Jets. Week 4 saw another divisional loss at home versus New England before the Dolphins headed on the road again, beating Green Bay 23–20. After a loss at home to Pittsburgh 23–22 on a controversial fumble call the Dolphins hit the road to Cincinnati to win 22–14. Their perfect road streak was finally ended in Week 9 after losing to the Ravens 26–10. The following week, they beat Tennessee for what proved to be their only home win of 2010. Miami went 2–2 down the stretch before being eliminated from playoff contention by Buffalo in Week 15. Two meaningless games against Detroit and New England were lost to end with another middling 7–9 season and a 1–7 home record. At the end of the 2010 season, owner Stephen Ross flew to California to interview Stanford head coach 1998:, Tannehill struggled, throwing three interceptions in a loss on the road against the Houston Texans. His first home game was a much different story, as he ran for a touchdown and did not commit any turnovers while dominating the Oakland Raiders. Miami then lost back-to-back OT games against the Jets and the Arizona Cardinals, despite Tannehill throwing for 431 yards, the most ever for a rookie QB in a single game in team history, and receiver Brian Hartline racking up 253 receiving yards, the most ever by a Dolphin receiver, in the game against Arizona. Now facing questions about finishing games, they played Cincinnati on the road and won 17–13 win after Reshad Jones picked off the ball with under a minute and a half left in the game. Despite an impressive 4–3 start, the Dolphins lost a highly touted game against the Colts, 23–20. This started a 3-game losing streak, raising many questions about the team. After staying in Wild Card contention through Week 16, Miami finished 7–9 after being shut out by the Patriots. 1615:. They were predicted to lose by a field goal to the Carolina Panthers in their own Dolphin Stadium. In Saban's second season, the Dolphins were expected to contend for a playoff spot. The season turned out to be a major disappointment. Before the season began, Ricky Williams tested positive for the 4th time for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy, ending his season. The season started out with a rough loss to the defending Super Bowl champions, the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Dolphins went on to start the season with a record of 1–6. However, they had seemed to have turned something around midseason, much like the previous year's late-season surge. However, with a 6–8 record after a loss to Buffalo in Week 15, they were assured to once again miss the playoffs. The team finished 6–10 after a loss to the Colts in their final game. On January 3, 2007, Saban announced that he had accepted a contract for eight years and a guaranteed $ 5 to coach at the 1298:
win over the Oakland Raiders and sat at 9–5 with two weeks left in the season, in prime position to steal the AFC East. However, in Week 17, despite dominating the New England Patriots for most of the game, the Dolphins blew an 11-point 4th-quarter lead and eventually lost in overtime. Due to a tiebreaker, both the Dolphins and Patriots lost out on the playoffs as the Jets took the AFC East title. Fans wanted Wannstedt's firing, but he was kept on for the 2003 season. Despite it all, the team believed it had plenty to look forward to, as Williams broke Dolphins records with 1,853 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns on the ground. The real culprit of Miami's demise was its poor play on the road, in which the team finished 2–6 and the defense surrendered over 8 yards a game.
1924: 447: 1890:, the Dolphins had a 15–0 lead with less than 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter and lost in overtime 18–15 to fall to 0–7. It was in that game Sparano was caught on TV cameras pleading with the referees to review a Broncos touchdown play or else he would get fired. The referees did review the touchdown, but it was upheld. Two days after the game, Sparano put his house up for sale, but he claimed it was because he and his wife wanted to downsize and live closer to the beach. Miami remained winless until Week 9 when they won four out of the next five games, however, it wasn't enough to save Sparano as he was fired the day after the Dolphins lost to the 2388: 2567:. With these new additions, the Dolphins offense became one of the most explosive in the league and Tagovailoa's performance greatly improved in light of a better relationship with McDaniel than with Flores, though the Dolphins received criticism for handling several concussions sustained by Tagovailoa throughout the course of the season and their defense regressed. Miami matched its record from the previous year at 9–8, good enough to clinch the 7th seed in the 2022 playoffs, where they would lose to Buffalo in the wild card round. 1767: 645:, in what has entered NFL lore as the "Sea of Hands" game, considered one of the greatest games ever played. This devastating loss, which Shula called his toughest ever (he cried in the locker room after the game) and which haunts Dolphin players and fans to this day, marked the end of the Dolphins' dynasty. It would be eight years before the Dolphins would win another playoff game. After the disappointing defeat, several players, including Csonka, Warfield, and running back 2541: 2372:, before suffering a season-ending hip injury on November 16, 2019. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Rosen alternated games at quarterback to little success, but the job was ultimately clinched by Fitzpatrick after a string of strong performances starting in week 5. After starting the season 0–7 while losing each of the first four games by a total of 163 points and scoring a total of just 26 points and 2 touchdowns, the Dolphins won the next two games, including one over the 2037: 68: 2430:, releasing Josh Rosen following training camp. Ryan Fitzpatrick continued to start at quarterback at the start of the season, but the starting role was eventually handed to Tagovailoa during Week 8, after the Dolphins began the season 0-2, 1-3, and then 3-3. Tagovailoa showed promise in his 8 starts as a Dolphin, going 6-3 at the helm, and had helped establish the Dolphins as playoff contenders, starting 6-3 for the first time since 1243:, who left for Cincinnati and Carolina respectively. On February 1, 2001, the Dolphins placed the franchise tag on Jason Taylor for $ 5.39 million. Later in July 2001 the Dolphins were able to sign Taylor to a long-term 6-year $ 42 million deal.

Yepremian picked up the loose ball, and attempted to pass, but the ball slipped out of his hands, and after batting it up in the air, the ball was grabbed by Redskins cornerback Mike Bass, who returned it for a touchdown.
