The Miami Dolphins stay out west following a tough loss last Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. Miami will go from Santa Clara to Los Angeles and face the Chargers. This game was recently flexed to primetime, and this is the first time Miami has been flexed into Sunday Night Football since the NFL instituted flexible scheduling in 2006.
The Dolphins have won three of their past four games against the Chargers including the past two road games one in Los Angeles in 2017 and the other in San Diego in 2016. Sitting at 8-4, the Tua Tagovailoa-led Dolphins will face a 6-6 Charger team led by Justin Herbert, and Los Angeles will be fighting for their playoff lives.
Miami looks to keep in contention for the AFC East Division crown, as winning out would mean the title is theirs. Also in play could be the number one overall seed should Kansas City slip just one more game.
Before getting ahead, the Dolphins do need to focus on Herbert and the Chargers on Sunday night, as the nation will be watching, and surely hitting the social channels on literally every throw the two will make.
