The Miami Dolphins are one of the more intriguing teams in the NFL these days, as they have arguably the league’s most explosive offense yet have had trouble getting to the next level.
While they finished with an 11-6 record, plenty attacked them and accused them of being a fraudulent team.
On Fox Sports 1′ “Speak,” Emmanuel Acho said the Dolphins have to make sure they don’t let any peripheral opponents, or as he put it, “anything without a heartbeat,” beat them.

According to Acho, All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill let traveling to Germany to play the Kansas City Chiefs, his former team, as well as the elements get in his way of performing his best.
Acho also pointed out that the Dolphins need to get more physical while pointing out that the gap between them and a team such as the San Francisco 49ers is “not that wide.”
Miami was second in points scored and first in rushing touchdowns and total yards in 2023, but defensively, something was missing, as they were 22nd in points allowed.
They traveled to Kansas City for the wild-card round of the playoffs to take on the Chiefs in freezing conditions, and their offense froze, as they mustered just seven points in a 19-point loss.
They seem to be in an unenviable position in sports — being good but not great — and it has been a while since they have been even close to great, as they haven’t reached the AFC Championship Game since all the way back in the 1992 season.
