Tua Tagovailoa is expected back for Miami this Sunday as the Dolphins (2-4) host the Arizona Cardinals (3-4).
Sidelined with a concussion since September 12, Tagovailoa more than ever appears vital to the success of the Dolphins’ offense. WR Tyreek Hill has been effusive in his praise of the veteran signal-caller’s ability to find receivers and move an offense that has been stagnant in his absence. Miami has not scored more than 15 points since Week 1.
The visiting Cardinals have logged more than their share of miles with road trips to Buffalo, Green Bay, and now Miami. They are in South Beach looking to win 2 straight for the 1st time this season. Kyler Murray and the offense need to be more efficient as the Cards have scored a total of 28 points over the last 2 weeks.
Lets dive into the matchup and find a couple sweats.
