Following a bye in Week 10, the Raiders travel east looking to snap a 5-game losing streak when they line up against the Dolphins. Miami is on short rest but did win Monday night against the Rams.
Vegas enters the game with a new offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, and offensive line coach…again. QB Gardner Minshew will probably be on a very short leash having been pulled last game for Desmond Ridder (11-16 for 74 yards and 1 TD) in the Raiders’ last game at Cincinnati. Overall, the Raiders’ offense is ranked 30th in total yards (2522yds) but 25th in points scored (18.7ppg). Their defense they are 12th in total yards allowed (2925yds) but 30th in points allowed (27.9ppg).
The Dolphins are actually traveling further for this game as they were just in Los Angeles on Monday night. They did get back in the win column in Week 10, though. The playoffs still appear all but out of reach, but Tua Tagovailoa’s return has sparked the offense and has offered some hope. The team is averaging nearly 26 points and 330 total yards per game over the last three games with Tua back under center. Defensively, Miami ranks 7th in total yards allowed (2752yds) and 18th in points allowed (22.4ppg).
Lets dive into the matchup and see if we can find a sweat or two.
