The Miami Dolphins have undergone a significant transformation in their offensive strategy this season, shifting from a reliance on explosive plays to a focus on sustaining drives and wearing down opposing defenses. Despite having two of the league's most explosive receivers, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, the Dolphins have adapted their game plan to counteract defenses that aim to limit big plays. This change has resulted in improved efficiency, particularly since quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's return from injury, with notable performances in recent games, including a standout game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

• The Dolphins rank fifth in the league in plays per drive this season.
• Since Tagovailoa's return, the Dolphins have the highest third-down conversion rate in the league.
• Miami's offensive transformation has led to longer, more sustained drives, contrasting with their previous explosive play style.
