The Miami Dolphins entered the 2023 season with plenty of top-end talent on both sides of the football. However, it doesn't take long to realize just how long the season is — and how many players are needed to succeed on the football field. The Dolphins sit at 9-3 with four of the final five games at home despite battling injuries to the offensive line, pass rush, and secondary throughout the season.

When the season's 'script' leaked, was anyone banging the table for Andrew Van Ginkel's impact as a pass rusher? Were opposing defenses ready to slow down not only Raheem Mostert, but also De'Von Achane — arguably the league's most explosive running back. NOBODY — AND I MEAN NOBODY — expected Miami's offensive line to be third in sacks allowed per game.

Who else deserves flowers before the season ends?
