News and notes heading into Dolphins-Raiders in Week 11

A few newsworthy tidbits for Dolphins-Raiders.

The Miami Dolphins return to action on Sunday following their bye week, which happened to be rather successful for a team that didn’t even play a game.

Several teams suffered losses in Week 10, including the Baltimore Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills. Baltimore and Jacksonville are each now 6-3, tied with Miami while Buffalo has fallen to 5-5 and is out of the AFC playoff picture, at the moment.

The Dolphins currently sit as the fourth-seed, and as the standings sit today, they’d host the fifth-seeded Pittsburgh Steelers on Wild Card Weekend. We all know this picture will change, as Miami has a chance to climb to the number two slot this weekend with a win and some more luck.

The Dolphins host the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET at Hard Rock Stadium, as they’ll shoot for their second consecutive season, something they haven’t done since 2000-01. Miami is 16-2 at Hard Rock Stadium since November 7, 2021.
