2016 Miami Dolphins season The 2016 Miami Dolphins season was the franchise's 47th season in the National Football League, the 51st overall and the first under head coach Adam Gase. The season saw the Dolphins trying to improve upon their 6–10 record from 2015. After a sluggish 1–4 start, the Dolphins would claim six straight wins, and finish the season on a 9–2 run. With their Week 15 win over the New York Jets, the Dolphins clinched a winning record for the first time since 2008, and clinched a playoff berth the following week after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Denver Broncos. They were also the first AFC East team, other than the New England Patriots, to qualify for the postseason since the New York Jets did so in 2010. However, they were defeated by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round, ending their season.
