Miami’s offensive fireworks did not disappoint in the week one shootout against the Chargers was exciting to watch as Tua threw for 466 yards on 28/45 passing with 3 touchdowns and one interception. The Patriots started off slow against the Eagles but began to wake up in the second quarter as they cut the lead before halftime but couldn’t finish the job.
Tyreek Hill caught 11 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns as the offense was unstoppable and no one could guard them. While Tua played well he cost the Dolphins two turnovers, that will need to be cleaned up against a tough defense that the Patriots have.
It will be hard to slow down the offense that the Dolphins have, the Patriots have the pass rush attack that could make this game interesting.
Even if they can hold or slow down Hill, Waddle will be lined up on the other side of the ball and he can create space like some of the best in the game can.
The Patriots will need to control the time of possession and make sure they get to Tua as fast as possible to get the ball out and to keep the receivers in front of them to make tackles and keep big plays at a minimum. Mac Jones got in a groove last in the second half and almost led the comeback last week, as he passed for 316 yards on 35/54 passing with 1 interception that led to a pick six. They will need to play clean to keep the Dolphins offense on the sideline to stay in the game.
The running game couldn’t get going in a wet game that caused trouble on both sides of the ball.
Score Prediction Patriots 20 – Dolphins 38
