Dolphins vs. Chargers: How to watch, game time, streaming, injury report and more

The Miami Dolphins are headed into a Sunday Night Football broadcast for the second time this season. The Dolphins beat the Pittsburgh Steelers back in Week 7 and now will look to do the same as they visit the Los Angeles Chargers. The game was originally scheduled to be a Sunday afternoon game but was flexed into the marquee NBC broadcast as the league highlights a Dolphins team looking like a contender in the AFC playoff picture this year, along with a Chargers team trying to overcome injuries to climb back into postseason contention.

The game also features two of the top young quarterbacks in the league, with Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa and the Chargers’ Justin Herbert. Miami selected Tagovailoa with the fifth-overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, while the Chargers used the next selection to grab Herbert. The two quarterbacks will forever be linked by their draft positions, and they now take that linkage to primetime.

The oddsmakers seem to believe this will be a close game, though they give a slight edge to the Dolphins. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Miami is a 3.5-point favorite in the game as of Sunday morning. They may feel it will be close, but they do believe it will be a high-scoring contest, with the total points set at 53.5.
