DOLPHINS VS. BENGALS – 5:15PM PT/8:15PM ET [PRIME VIDEO]
Miami continues their high with back-to-back close victories against the illustrious Lamar Jackson and the elite Josh Allen. Is it luck or are the Dolphins serious contenders in the AFC? The Bengals played their warmup game against the Jets to boost their confidence. It’s nothing perfect, but it’s better than the first two games. Hopefully, this helps Joe Burrow’s confidence prior to their meeting with the Fins. Oh, and does anyone realize that this is potentially Alabama vs. LSU part 2 at the NFL level (if Tua’s available)?
MIAMI DOLPHINS PREVIEW
What can you say? Miami has caught a lot of attention since Mike McDaniel took over as the head coach. The offense has shown to be lethal with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle slowing down time. Their defense doesn’t seem to get enough credit. They have an impressive backfield, and Xavier Howard coming back healthy last week makes them more dangerous against the pass. Their only concern is Tua’s health, which is still being figured out on what exactly happened. Whether he’s available or not remains to be seen.
CINCINNATI BENGALS PREVIEW
The Bengals looked shaky in their first two games. They could’ve started the season 1-1 or 2-0, but the offensive line is a major problem despite the offseason additions to shore up those issues. A warmup against the Jets hopefully helped the team’s confidence when they host Miami. They have the talent on both sides to compete with most NFL teams and hosting the Dolphins will show if they are the Bengals that are playoff contenders or the Bengals that was just a fluke last season.
THE MATCHUP
We’re looking at two sides of a coin. The team of big hype and the team of disappointment. However, Miami rode heavily on that massive comeback thanks to their speedy receivers and Tua’s big play ability. Then, their defense played a big part in slowing down the Bills and managed a second half hold that led to their comeback win. But with Tua’s health in question, their run could end. Cincinnati looks for redemption early and this may be their opportunity. The game will be close but expect the Bengals to come away with a crucial win and be that team to end Miami’s undefeated run.
