Cleveland takes on Miami in Week 7 of the 2025 regular season
The Cleveland Browns will host the Miami Dolphins in Week 7 of the 2025 NFL season. Now that this year’s NFL schedule has been officially released, we can break down each matchup and each team for the upcoming season.
The Dolphins suffered some unusual struggles in 2024, specifically regarding the offensive side of the ball. They were forced to shuffle through different quarterbacks due to the head injury Tua Tagovailoa suffered in Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills.
They finished the ‘24 season ranked 22nd in points per game with an average of 20.3, which was drastically worse than their average of 29.2 (2nd in the NFL) in 2023.
HC Mike McDaniel and Miami look to get back on track in 2025, and they certainly have the talent to do so with WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, RB De’Von Achane, and a revamped offensive line.
