The Miami Dolphins will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a Week 1, sorry, Week 11 contest later today. This game was originally scheduled for opening weekend, but Hurricane Irma, and the serendipitous fact that both teams had the same bye week this year, forced the NFL to move the game to this week. Both teams have not performed up to their expectations on the year, and will be hoping that they can spark something for the rest of the year with a win in their “opening” game of the season.
Tampa Bay comes into the week 3-6 on the year and in last place in the NFC South. Miami, meanwhile, is 4-5 on the year and in third place in the AFC East.
The Buccaneers bring cornerback Brent Grimes back to Hard Rock Stadium, where he played three seasons before the team released him.
