MIA AT MIN : The winless Dolphins travel to Minnesota to play the unbeaten Vikings. The Dolphins are coming off arguably their best performance of the season against the Chiefs where they lost 24-10. But they lost more than the game, Running Back De’von Achane is done for the season with a torn ACL. The Dolphins will also be down Receiver Caleb Douglas, while the Vikings will be down Justin Jefferson.
KEYS TO THE GAME
DOLPHINS
- STAY IN YOUR LANE – One thing about playing Kyler Murray is he loves to use his legs. If the Dolphins make him one dimensional and can keep him in the pocket, the pass rush might be able to make a play.
- STEPPING UP : With the absence of Achane it gives an opportunity to Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright to step up. The Dolphins need to run the ball against this Brian Flores led defense.
LAR AT PHI : In what could be an NFC title game preview the Rams travel to Philly to play the Eagles. Both teams lost in primetime last week, the Rams were robbed against the Broncos, and the Eagles let Case Keenum go up and down the field on them. As of Friday there is no injury designation on Puka Nacua, who should play. This is a massive game in the NFC.
JAX AT CIN : It could be a firework display in Cincy on Sunday when the Jaguars and Bengals meet. The Jags are coming off a thumping of the Patriots, and the Bengals are coming off their first loss to the Steelers. Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence are elite Quarterbacks, but could the defenses steal the show?
NE AT BUF : Last year the Patriots beat out the Bills for the AFC East crown, the start of 2026 has been bad for the Pats, and the Bills are once again world beaters. Drake Maye has turned the ball over a lot, and the Bills offense has been sensational. If Maye continues to turn the ball over the Bills won’t only win this in a rout, but the AFC East might be over too.
DEN AT SF : Color me intrigued on this one where Kyle Shanahan coaches against the team his father coached for so long. The Broncos offense has been inconsistent to start the season, while the 49ers have been awesome. This could be an early Super Bowl Preview.
KC AT LV : The Raiders are the biggest surprise in the NFL at 3-0 and here’s a chance to make a real statement as the Chiefs come to town. The Chiefs identity has changed with the acquisition of Kenneth Walker, and who knows Walker better than his old Offensive Coordinator Klint Kubiak, the coach of the Raiders. Big time test here for the Raiders.
