2023 Miami Dolphins season
The 2023 season is the Miami Dolphins' 54th season in the National Football League (NFL), their 58th overall, their eighth under general manager Chris Grier and their second under head coach Mike McDaniel. The Dolphins attempt to improve upon their 9–8 record from the previous two seasons, make the playoffs for the second consecutive season, and end their 14-year AFC East title drought. They will also attempt to snap their 22-year playoff victory drought, which is the longest active drought in the AFC. In their Week 3 70–20 victory over the Denver Broncos, the Dolphins became the first NFL team to score 70 points in a game since 1966. This was the second most points scored in a regular-season game, and tied for the third most points scored in any NFL game including playoffs. The NFL record for the most points scored in a game is 73 points, set by the Chicago Bears in the 1940 NFL Championship Game. The regular-season record is 72 points by the Washington Redskins in 1966. With a Week 6 win over the Carolina Panthers, the Dolphins started 5–1 for the first time since 2002. Offseason

On January 19, 2023, the Dolphins parted ways with defensive coordinator Josh Boyer. After firing Boyer, the Dolphins signed long time defensive coordinator Vic Fangio (well known for his defense being consistently ranked top-5 in major categories.) to a contract making him the highest paid defensive coordinator in the NFL. On March 12, the Dolphins agreed in principle to a trade with the Los Angeles Rams in which they acquired 6 time Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey in exchange for tight end Hunter Long and a 2023 3rd round pick. The Rams used the pick to select Tennessee defensive end Byron Young. The trade was officially announced 3 days later after the start of the NFL league year. Free agent signings
