Minnesota vs Miami Game Preview

Why Minnesota Will Win

Skylar Thompson.

He did what he could thrown into the fire after Teddy Bridgewater got hurt, and he threw for 166 yards, but he’s mobile, he can throw deep if he gets time, and …

He’s a rookie quarterback who’s only in because Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater are hurt. Minnesota’s pass defense isn’t amazing, but it’ll take its chances with pressure upon more pressure.

What’s Going To Happen

Thompson isn’t the problem. He’s not the solution, but the Dolphins have a bigger issue here.

Miami will hang around for a while with a decent day from the ground game and a good defensive game plan that lasts into the second quarter. The Viking receivers will take over on third downs and Thompson won’t be able to answer.
