"Dolphins" is plural, "Miami" is singular, and it's used as a collective noun so 'is' would be correct.
It's not only IS and ARE. "The Dolphins 'have' a bad team," and "Miami 'has' a bad team.'
Police and People are exceptions to the rule.
I think the British prefer ARE when using collective nouns, but I won't get into that.
