The 1990 Miami Dolphins enjoyed a resurgent season, finishing with a strong 12-4 record and returning to the playoffs for the first time since 1985. Led by Hall of Fame coach Don Shula and quarterback Dan Marino, the team featured a top-five defense and earned a thrilling 17-16 Wild Card victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The season was also highlighted by the immediate impact of first-round pick Richmond Webb, who earned Pro Bowl honors as a rookie and helped solidify the offensive line.
