==== Indianapolis Colts ====
When the then-[[Baltimore Colts]] were inserted into the AFC East following the AFL/NFL merger, they sparked a heated rivalry with the Dolphins, as a controversy involving the hiring of former Colts coach [[Don Shula]] forced Miami to forfeit a first-round draft pick. The Dolphins and Colts faced off several times in the AFC playoffs during the 1970s, including the AFC championship game leading up to [[Super Bowl VI]], which the Dolphins lost to the [[Dallas Cowboys]]. The rivalry cooled down in the 1980s after the Colts struggled and [[Baltimore Colts relocation to Indianapolis|moved to Indianapolis]], but heated up once again in the late 90s until the Colts were reassigned into the [[AFC South]] as a result of the 2002 realignment of the NFL's divisions.<ref name="Other AFC rivals" /> As of 2024, the Dolphins lead the all-time series 48–29.<ref>{{cite web | title=All Matchups, Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts vs. Miami Dolphins | website=Pro-Football-Reference.com | date=1970-11-01 | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=clt&tm2=mia&yr=all | access-date=2024-07-31}}</ref>
