On Thursday night the Miami Dolphins will put their 3-0 record on the line as they take on the reigning AFC Champion Cincinnati Bengals. This is the first time that Joe Burrow and Tua Tagovailoa are playing each other in the NFL. Both quarterbacks were in selected in the top five of the 2020 draft. In 2019 one of the best College Football games featured these two quarterbacks when LSU defeated Alabama 46-41. Joe Burrow threw for 393 yards and three touchdowns in the victory while Tua threw for 418 yards, four touchdowns and an interception.
The Dolphins are coming off a 21-19 victory over division rival Buffalo. The win was the Dolphins first over the Bills in their last eight meetings. One of the keys to the victory over Buffalo was the pressure the Dolphins defense had. They had four sacks but were in Allen’s face throughout the game. One area the Bengals have struggled is protecting Joe Burrow.
The reigning AFC champs are coming off their first win of the season, a 27-12 win over the New York Jets. Joe Burrow threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns .The Bengals defense sacked Joe Flacco four times and forced four turnovers.
Both teams have very dynamic receivers, so whoever limits the amount of big plays down the field might be the key to the game. Two of the best teams in the AFC will duke it out on prime time.
