The Miami Dolphins started their 2016 season with a 12-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, allowing the game winning touchdown with a half-minute left in the contest. They look to rebound in Week 2 with a visit to their AFC East rivals, the New England Patriots. The Patriots, meanwhile, went across the country to face the Arizona Cardinals without Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Nate Solder, and Rob Ninkovich. Somehow, the Patriots came away with the win against a team seen as Super Bowl contenders in the NFC.
Will the Dolphins be able to take advantage of the suspensions and injuries the Patriots currently have? Can they shake off the last-minute loss from last week? Can the offense find a rhythm earlier in the game than they did against the Seahawks? Will the defense be able to continue playing like they did early in the Seahawks game, and how will the loss of Mario Williams, who does not appear to have cleared the league’s concussion protocol yet, impact them this week?
There are a lot of questions that have to be answered this Sunday. Below, you will find everything you need to know to watch the game and maybe get some answers:
