The Miami Dolphins tore the walls and focused on rebuilding the franchise’s foundation when Brian Flores became head coach prior of the 2019 season.
Just one year into the “new era” of Dolphins football, a quarterback was drafted to lead the franchise and Miami started the year 8-4 for the first time since 2003. The season ended just short of a playoff birth with a record of 10-6 and three players were named to the Associated Press All-Pro teams.
Joining cornerback Xavien Howard and punt returner Jakeem Grant was Jason Sanders, who was about as dominant a kicker could be throughout Miami’s 2020 playoff pursuit.
