The Miami Dolphins have started eight offensive line combinations this year and yet rank third in the NFL with an average of 1.5 sacks allowed per game this season. Considering injuries to Teron Armstead, Robert Hunt, Isaiah Wyan, and Connor Williams — four of the team's five starting offensive linemen — the unit's sustained success is hard to ignore.

Miami's offensive line didn't just struggle in past years, it was one of the league's worst units. Coach Mike McDaniel, offensive coordinator Frank Smith, and offensive line coach Butch Barry wasted little time turning things around. From top-to-bottom, Miami's offensive line has held through 12 games.

It was apparent that Miami had top-end talent entering the season, but unexpected stars are pushing this team toward the top of the playoff race.
