The Miami Dolphins continued their losing ways in a rough showing against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, which has quickly sparked frustration from one Dolphins star who has been sidelined for most of the season.
Miami lost their most dynamic offensive weapon just three games into the season when star running back De'Von Achane suffered a season-ending torn ACL in a September matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Sunday's game was no different for the Dolphins. Despite going up against a Lions team allowing the fourth-most yards per game in the NFL this season, Miami was only able to put up 228 yards of offense in an ugly 19-9 loss.

During the game, Achane took to social media to voice his frustrations in a short but clear message about his team's struggles.

On one hand, it's not the best look for a Dolphins player to be publicly criticizing his team online. But it's truly hard to blame Achane given just how bad things have gone for his team this year.
With the loss, the Dolphins fall to 1-7 on the year. Clearly, based on Achane's message on social media, there isn't all that much optimism for things to turn around anytime soon.
The Dolphins will look to get their second win of the year in Week 10 when they take to the road to face off against the Indianapolis Colts, who have their own struggles going on after losing their fifth consecutive game on Sunday.
