The Miami Dolphins are back in action this weekend at Hard Rock Stadium, hoping to knock off the undefeated Seattle Seahawks and climb back to .500 for the remaining three quarters of their 2020 season. Stopping the Seattle offense is going to be anything but easy — and the Dolphins may be undermanned in their efforts to do exactly that.
