The Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders will square of in Madrid, Spain on Sunday. It will be an early kickoff for the fans back in the United States with a starting time of 9:30 a.m. ET. After their stunning upset over the Buffalo Bills, the Dolphins will look to build off that and maybe go on a winning streak with a soft schedule on the horizon over the next few weeks. While the Dolphins are getting a little healthier, the Commanders are dealing with plenty of injuries of their own. Their star quarterback, Jayden Daniels, is out with an elbow injury meaning Marcus Mariota will get the start.
