One of the most fascinating teams in the NFL is getting a special platform in the middle of the 2023 season. On Monday, the NFL and HBO announced that the Miami Dolphins had been selected as this year's in-season "Hard Knocks" team, which will debut on MAX later this fall.

The 5-2 Dolphins are currently in first place in the AFC East, and have an MVP favorite in quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, the NFL's leading receiver in Tyreek Hill and one of the most entertaining head coaches in the game in Mike McDaniel. 

The Dolphins have scored a league-leading 240 points through seven games. No other team has even reached the 200-point mark. Miami has the No. 1 offense in yards of total offense per game (462.3), the top-ranked passing offense (300.0 yards per game) and No. 1 rushing offense as well (162.3 yards per game). The Dolphins' offensive dominance was on full display in Week 3, when McDaniel's squad coasted to a historic 70-20 victory over the Denver Broncos. That week, the Dolphins became the first team in NFL history to record five passing touchdowns and five rushing touchdowns in a single game.
