DolphinsTalk.com Daily Podcast

The Miami Dolphins return home in Week 5 to take on a Cincinnati Bengals team that many people had high expectations for. Unfortunately for the Bengals, it has not been a great start to the season. Cincinnati comes to Miami with a 2-2 record on the back of consecutive losses to the Jaguars and Steelers and their only wins are over the currently winless Houston Texans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Add to that the likely absence of star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase and the Dolphins might be looking at a big opportunity to earn their first win on Sunday.

With Aaron the Brain out of action this week, Josh is joined by Matt Lombardo of BetweenTheHashmarks.com to take a look at matchups for this game. Plus, Matt gives his thoughts on the Dolphins at the quarter pole of the 2026 season and shares what he thinks of the team's rookie class. They also discuss early MVP favorites and try to determine whether NFL referees actually ARE calling more penalties or if it's just an illusion.

The Miami Dolphins had a chance to win in Minnesota. Instead, the same problems showed up all over again. On the latest episode of Nothing to Hyde, award-winning columnist Dave Hyde and former Miami Dolphins defender Kim Bokamper break down Miami's frustrating 15–10 loss to the Vikings—and ask when a young team making mistakes becomes a team that simply isn't meeting the standard. For Dave, the fourth quarter told the story. Miami entered the final period trailing just 12–10, but the offense produced only three plays, two yards and one minute of possession, while the Vikings put together two long drives and eventually ran out the clock at the Dolphins' one-yard line. Then there are the special teams. After multiple early breakdowns against Minnesota, Dave wonders whether Miami has reached the point where accountability has to follow. Bo agrees that special teams have become a recurring problem rather than an isolated bad game. The guys also dig into an offense that scored just 10 points, the continuing penalty problem, Malik Willis' development, an offensive line struggling in pass protection, and the enormous impact of playing without De'Von Achane. Despite all of that, Bo still sees reasons for optimism—especially in young players like Ollie Gordon, Kadyn Proctor, Jacob Rodriguez and Chris Bell.

Another game, another loss for the Miami Dolphins.

As most expected, the Dolphins struggled to get much going on offense on Sunday, as the Minnesota Vikings' aggressive defense cause Malik Willis headaches all day long. The Dolphins' QB struggled to cope with the various looks and blitzes Brian Flores' unit threw at him, but the offensive line managed as best they could. Their greatest success came in the run game where Ollie Gordon had an impactful day, but the offense as a whole didn't manage much else at all.

The defense had a better showing, with Zach Sieler coming up with a couple of big sacks and Chop Robinson regularly bringing pressure against a beat-up Vikings' offensive line. But, after struggling for most of the first three quarters, Kyler Murray finally found his rhythm in the fourth quarter and consistently hooked up with tight end TJ Hockenson, whose big day kept the Vikings moving, even if they couldn't find the end zone. Five field goals were still enough to beat the Dolphins on Sunday.

Elsewhere, the Dolphins' special teams continued to struggle, with penalties and explosive opponent returns doing significnt damage in a game that proved to be very close.

Aaron and Josh are back to discuss all of this and more on another fun episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com!
