Yahoo Sports The Dolphins take on the Patriots in Foxborough. Here’s a guide to the game
The Miami Dolphins have a Week 5 matchup against the divisional rival New England Patriots on Sunday.
Here’s what you need to know:
When is the game?
Sunday’s game starts at 1 p.m.
Where is the game?
The game will be played at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
How can I watch the game?
WSVN 7 will broadcast the game starting at 1:00 p.m..
Who isn’t suiting up?
As of Friday evening, All-Pro safety Jordan Poyer (shin) is the only player ruled out for Sunday.
Three players — Skylar Thompson (ribs), Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) and Cam Smith (hamstring) — are questionable.
The good news: Terron Armstead, Raheem Mostert and Kendall Fuller will make their return.
What’s the significance of Monday’s game?
The Dolphins could be one of the worst teams in the league.
They’ve lost three straight games. They’ve lost two quarterbacks to injury. And, most recently, they’ve lost star edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to a season-ending knee injury.
Still, Sunday presents an opportunity to right the ship.
The Patriots aren’t necessarily good, either. Their starting running back in Rhamondre Stevenson has fumbling issues. Jacoby Brissett has thrown only two touchdowns in four games. And their receiving core is quite lackluster.
If the Dolphins want to have the chance to make a playoff run, they must (again must) beat the Patriots in order to enter the bye week on a high note. Anything less would be a disappointment. Even worse: they might actually own the title as the worst team in the league after losing back-to-back games to the Tennessee Titans and Patriots.
