WEEK 7 2025**, Sunday, October** 19th

-Late Afternoon Games-

Indianapolis Colts (5-1) 1st AFC South @ LA Chargers (4-2) T-1st AFC West

• Location: SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California
• Time: 4:05...

The Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns are closing in on kickoff for their Week 7 meeting. One of the final steps for each team around the league is to announce their respective inactive players lists, bringing their 53-man active roster down to the 48-man gameday limit exercised by the league. Included in that limit are any players who were elevated from the practice squad for the game, with each tame allowed to bring up two practice squad members to join the team in the game each week.

For the Dolphins, they chose to elevate two players, linebacker Quinton Bell and...

Our Miami Dolphins will travel north today to take on the equally woeful Cleveland Browns. Both teams enter this game with a 1-5 record, but it seems the Dolphins, more so than the Browns, have more to lose than the game this afternoon. Many fans, including myself, believed that last week’s game against the LA Chargers was a must-win for Phins head coach Mike McDaniel and/or general manager Chris Grier if they had hoped to hold onto their jobs beyond this past week. The overly patient owner, Stephen Ross, is said to be “extremely frustrated”, but allowed both men to...

The Miami Dolphins are making a quarterback change ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

As per Ian Rapoport on X, the Dolphins are making rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers the backup quarterback to Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday. The Dolphins drafted Ewers in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL draft, at pick No. 231.

The backup position was previously held by Zach Wilson all season, who made his one and only appearance for the team in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. It’s unclear whether or not Wilson is currently dealing with an injury, or if the...

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel called trade rumors regarding some of Miami’s top talent “baseless” during his Friday press conference. Twenty-four hours later, one of the league’s top insiders continues to hear otherwise.

According to The Athletic’s Senior NFL Insider, Dianna Russini, Miami’s phone has been ringing off the hook, with the team receiving “lots of calls” on pass-rushers Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips.

Chubb, 29, signed a five-year, $110 million extension in 2022 after the Dolphins acquired the star pass-rusher from the Denver Broncos. The two sides restructured Chubb’s deal before the 2025 season, converting a portion of his...

Miami Dolphins fans have tied an all-time record when it comes to their confidence in the direction of the team. Unfortunately, it is due to their lack of confidence in a 1-5 team that finds new ways to lose games weekly. The high-point of the season was in Week 1, when 45 percent of the fans thought the team was headed in the right direction. There was a jump in Week 5, when, after three weeks of single-digit results, 32 percent of the fans were coming back to trusting the team. Now, both the results on the field and in...

The Miami Dolphins are having one of their worst seasons in recent years, stumbling their way out of the gate in Week 1 and continuing to fall throughout the first third of the season. Can they turn things around with a visit to the Cleveland Browns? Is there any way for a 1-5 team to somehow become competitive in a year when there does not appear to be any truly dominant teams?

Today’s game in Cleveland should be an interesting one as both teams battle huge winds and rain, likely turning the game into a running contest. Will Miami’s defense...

The Sunday of Week 7 of the 2025 NFL season starts with a London game and ends on the West Coast as 24 of the league’s 32 teams take the field. The Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills are on their bye this week, while the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions kickoff Monday Night Football tomorrow while the Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks end the week with a late kickoff tomorrow night.

Everyone else is in action today. The games start at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time, with a...

Tomorrow afternoon, our Miami Dolphins will travel north to take on the Cleveland Browns. As usual, we have our weekly PQOTD prior to the game:

What are your predictions for this coming Sunday’s game between our Miami Dolphins and the Cleveland Browns? Additionally, please share with us which player(s) you would steal from the Browns to place on the Phins roster.

Below are some of your thougths and answers-

Tua2Hill expects more ugly or maybe new, so sad it’s funny ugly.

I predict more of the same… and maybe some new, more comical way to lose while making...

The Miami Dolphins may be looking to move on from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the coming years. And with a 1-5 start to the season, the time to start looking at the draft’s top prospects — especially at the quarterback position — has long begun.

Back in 2024, Tagovailoa inked a four-year, $212.4 million extension with the Dolphins. Unfortunately, everything surrounding our favorite team has been downhill ever since. And with the potential for a complete overhaul from top to bottom — and an out in the contract in 2027 — the Dolphins will inevitably have to start looking for...

The Miami Dolphins are currently 1-5, and with the future of the current regime in jeopardy, many expect the team to be sellers at this year’s NFL trade deadline.

Rumors have already started to swirl surrounding several players, including pass-rushers Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips, and some have even suggested the team could move some of their promising young offensive playmakers — like Jaylen Waddle and De’Von Achane — as well.

That may still happen.

But for now, Miami’s head coach is claiming there is no credibility to those rumors, calling them “baseless” at his Friday afternoon press conference.

It’s going to be the battle of the lefty quarterbacks when the Miami Dolphins take on the Cleveland Browns tomorrow. From the sounds of it, the weather may not be that great either with some strong winds in the forecast. Either way, this is going to be a battle of one win teams who both desperately need a win to silence some drama surrounding them.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.

Who has the edge? Dolphins at Browns, in battle of 1-5 teams Here’s a look at how the Miami Dolphins...
