Miami vs Tampa Bay Game Preview
Why Miami Will Win
Miami has a problem against teams that run well, and that’s not Tampa Bay.
That’s not to say the Dolphin secondary has been a rock – Derek Carr and Las Vegas went off – but the run defense is the big problem allowing 125 yards or more every time out.
