The Miami Dolphins are still searching for their first win of the season after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3. There's no question that it's been a rough start, and things didn't get any better with De'Von Achane suffering a torn ACL. A day after the game, head coach Jeff Hafley was ready to talk to reporters about the week ahead, but he noticed that it wasn't many of them present.
Hafley asked if that was everybody who was coming, and a reporter in the room said: “It’s Heat media day.”
Dolphins HC Jeff Hafley was visibly taken aback by the lack of reporters at his press conference today, with many of them attending Heat Media Day instead:
Coach: “is this everyone that’s coming …?”
Reporter: “it’s Heat media day.”

By no surprise, it looks like most of the media was ready to see Giannis Antetokounmpo in a Heat jersey instead of hearing what the Dolphins needed to do to get out of their slump.
So far, the offense has not looked great, as they haven't scored over 13 points in any of the first three games. There was optimism that Malik Willis could lift the offense this season, but it hasn't translated on the field just yet. With Achane out for the season, they've lost their biggest playmaker on that side of the ball, and it'll be interesting to see who fills in that role for him.
As for the defense, they're allowing a lot of points, and they haven't been able to get consistent stops when they need it. Hafley may have to come to the point where he makes some changes across the board if the team is still struggling for the next few weeks.
If things don't get any better, the Heat are going to take up all of the attention of Miami sooner rather than later.
