These are the four reasons why the Miami Dolphins have the league's worst offense

MIAMI _ We all know the Dolphins' offense is historically bad.

But now, thanks to updated league stats and the game film from Sunday's 43-0 skunking by the Patriots, we know why.

The Dolphins, through Sunday's games, rank last in the NFL in total offense (192 yards per game), scoring (5 points per game), first downs (11.5) and turnover margin (minus-6). They are last in rush offense (29.5), 30th in third-down offense (20 percent) and 29th in passing offense (160.5).

While Miami has the league's youngest roster, the Dolphins' veterans are failing the team as much as anyone _ if not more so.

Not one position group is performing well, and some of the Dolphins' biggest contracts are playing the smallest early on in the 2019 season.
