The Miami Dolphins face the Indianapolis Colts later today. What do you need to know to watch the game? We have the answers.
The Miami Dolphins are back on the field today in a Week 7 showdown against their former AFC East rivals, the Indianapolis Colts. Miami is coming off their bye week, giving them a chance to self-scout some of the issues they have had to open the season, as well as a chance to rest and recover some of the injury issues they have had. Will it be enough to start a run that could make them factors in the AFC playoff picture again?
Miami enters the weekend at 2-3 on the season and are in the ninth position in the AFC, with the top seven teams qualifying for the postseason. The Colts are only a half-game better than Miami at 3-3, falling into the eighth position in the conference after the Denver Broncos’ win on Thursday Night Football.
The Dolphins, expected to be an explosive, high scoring offense in 2024, are 23rd in total offense this season (averaging 302.4 yards per game) and last in the league in scoring offense (12.0 points per game). The defense is doing better, ranked fifth overall (285.4 yards per game allowed), but they are still middle of the pack, ranked 17th, in scoring defense (22.6 points per game allowed).
The Colts are 13th in offense this year (336.8 yards per game) and 16th in scoring offense (23.2 points per game). On defense, the Colts are 30th in the league (389.5 yards per game allowed). Indianapolis is a spot worse than Miami in scoring defense (23.2 points per game allowed).
