Noteworthy: QB Tua Tagovailoa has been taking part in nicely within the 4 video games since his return from a concussion, however the Dolphins are 2-2 in that stretch. The Dolphins narrowly defeated New England 15-10 earlier this 12 months, securing the victory as a result of Patriots vast receiver Ja’Lynn Polk had half of his foot out of bounds when he landed in the long run zone after catching a go with 1:03 remaining. Ingold and Armstead each bear watching. Armstead appears extra more likely to play than Ingold however each are key items to the offense.

Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez typically defends vast receiver Tyreek Hill, and does an excellent job, so Gonzalez’s hip damage may very well be excellent news for the Dolphins. 

New England quarterback Drake Maye (9 touchdowns, 6 interceptions, 87.5 passer ranking) didn’t play within the first assembly between these groups. Maye demonstrates superb confidence in his arm and has a knack for scrambling…the Dolphins’ go rush, led by linemen Zach Sieler and Calais Campbell and rookie edge rusher Chop Robinson, has had success pressuring quarterbacks not too long ago. It’ll be vital for them to corral Maye so he can’t scramble for large yards.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has known as good, affected person offensive video games the final 4 weeks. Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver has discovered methods to make the most of his expertise regardless of damage limitations. Particular groups coordinator Danny Crossman has eradicated virtually all the senseless penalties his models had been committing earlier this season.
