The Miami Dolphins have one of the best offenses in the league and exploded for 70 points in a win against the Denver Broncos two weeks ago. The record game started to raise questions on just how good the Dolphins’ offense was and if they could challenge the 2013 Broncos team for the most points in an NFL season.
The expectations were tempered a bit when they scored just 20 points against the Bills in Week 4, but they are still averaging 30 points per game. The Broncos, for reference, averaged just over 35 points per game all season.
It is an uphill climb, but the Dolphins play the Giants and Panthers the next two weeks and could put up a lot of points and raise their per-game average.
The weapons the Dolphins have resemble what the Broncos had in 2013. They have two outstanding receivers in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle who are tough to guard. De’Von Achane and Raheem Mostert have been great out of the backfield and give the Dolphins speed from everywhere.
Tua Tagovailoa has also been great as he has completed 71% of his passes for 1,306 yards and nine touchdowns. Nobody is going to confuse Tagovailoa for Peyton Manning, but he has still been very good and with his weapons, he doesn’t have to be great.
The Dolphins have shown they are capable of scoring just as many points as the Broncos, but that is still a high level to continue throughout the whole season.
Are they talented enough to do it? Absolutely, but will they do it is another question. They do have an extra game, but if they do break it in 17 games they will have the asterisk next to their name.
The Dolphins offense is special this year, but too many things will have to break right for them to break that record. If Tagovailoa can stay healthy, though, they could make a run at it.
