Inter Miami’s Record-Breaking MLS Season: By the Numbers
Lofty expectations were already set when Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba joined former Barcelona coach Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino at Inter Miami in the summer 2023 transfer window to elevate the Herons as the best team in Major League Soccer.
Add Luis Suárez to the frontline alongside eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi and Miami went on to enjoy the best regular season in MLS history in 2024. While Miami’s postseason finish remains up in the air, Messi and Co. propelled the south Florida side to greatness in the form of the Supporters’ Shield and the MLS single-season points record.
With 74 points collected through 34 matches played, the Herons surpassed the 73 points set by the New England Revolution in 2021. However, Miami will hope to go on to lift MLS Cup later this year unlike the Revolution, who fell in the 2021 Eastern Conference semifinals to NYCFC.
Here’s Miami’s 2024 record breaking season by the numbers.

Dolphins Have Their New Long-Snapper
The Miami Dolphins wasted little time filling their need for a temporary long-snapper, and they’re again going the practice squad route.
Per NFL reporter Aaron Wilson, the Dolphins are signing Tucker Addington to the practice squad to replace veteran Matt Overton, who was released Monday after being elevated his maximum three times to fill in while Blake Ferguson remains on the Reserve/Non-Illness list.
Addington, who played collegiately at Sam Houston State, has played seven NFL games, including one with the New England Patriots this season. He also played three games for New England in 2022 and three games for the Washington Commanders last season.
Because of NFL rules, Overton was not allowed to play another regular season game for Miami as a practice squad elevation, which meant the Dolphins had to sign him to the active roster at some point before the game against the Los Angeles Rams next Monday night or pick up another long-snapper.
Ferguson has one more game to sit out after being placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list on October 19, making him eligible to return for the game against the Las Vegas Raiders on November 17.
With Addington now aboard, here is where the Dolphins practice squad stands. As a reminder, the Dolphins have 17 openings because they have an exemption for Dominican offensive lineman Bayron Matos.
