The 1968 Miami Dolphins season was the team's third in the American Football League (AFL). The team was looking to improve on it's 4-10 record from 1967. The team did improve on it's record, finishing the season 5-8-1 and moving one place up in the AFL Eastern Division. In week 6, the Dolphins tied the Buffalo Bills 14-14, the first ever tie in Dolphins history.
