The Miami Dolphins have been recognized for their elite offensive play throughout the season.
Tua Tagovailoa has been healthy thus far, which has catalyzed the Dolphins’ success.
While the offense might get a lot of recognition, their defense has also been a solid unit, helping keep them in close games.
The defense has only improved as the season continues, as evidenced by a new graphic shared via NFL GameDay.
Jalen Ramsey made his Dolphins debut in Week 8, which has made a world of difference.

The defense is fourth-best in points per game during this span and is top-five in several other critical defensive metrics.
He has helped re-energize this unit, and his on-field skills have spoken for themselves.
This has helped the Dolphins peak at the right time, given the current state of the AFC.
They have an 8-3 record, second only to the Baltimore Ravens, who are 9-3.
The Ravens have their bye week this week, giving teams like the Dolphins a chance to catch up and make ground for the top spot in the AFC.
Judging how the season has played out to this point, the top seed in the AFC will likely come down to the last game of the season.
Several teams are in the running for this slot, and any advantage a team can have on their opponents will likely make the difference.
Having a player like Ramsey on the Dolphins puts them in a great position to succeed moving forward.
Can they capitalize on his league experience, resulting in the playoff results they are hoping for?
