For most of their franchise history, the Miami Dolphins have been one of the elite franchises in sports. In the 1970s, they went to three straight Super Bowls and had the only perfect season in the NFL. In the 80s, they went to two more Super Bowls, and in the Dan Marino era, they were always relevant.
But the Dolphins haven’t accomplished much in recent years. They have been to the playoffs just twice in the last 20 seasons and lost in the wild card round both times.
Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said on Tyreek Hill’s podcast that he wants to improve the fortunes of his team and make the Dolphins the biggest thing in Miami.
“It means a lot to play for the Miami Dolphins,” Tagovailoa said, via the Miami Herald. “At one point, the city of Miami revolved around the Dolphins because the Dolphins were really the only professional sports team that was here at one point. And then the Heat came in, the Panthers came in. But that’s actually what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to rebuild the culture here in Miami.”
With the arrival of Tyreek Hill, expectations are high for Tagovailoa to take a big step in his third season in the NFL. And maybe make Miami revolve around the Dolphins again.
