"MIAMI GARDENS - The Miami Dolphins open their season Sunday at 1 p.m. at Indianapolis, and considering coach Mike McDaniel is 3-0 in season openers, having defeated New England, the Los Angeles Chargers (on the road) and Jacksonville, you figure things should go well. But the Dolphins have struggled since losing to Tennessee, 28-27, late in the 2023 season. They've gone 10-11 (.476) in the regular season since that game with a 3-7 (.300) road record, so anything is possible when the Dolphins face the Colts."
"The Tagovailoa-to-wide receiver Tyreek Hill combination will get its first work against an opponent in almost nine months and it wasn't sharp in its past two outings against Houston and San Francisco last season, so there's reason to wonder how effective it'll be against the Colts. Beyond that, tight end Darren Waller, who came out of retirement, hasn't had any competitive football in more than a year, and right tackle Austin Jackson (toe) and running back De'Von Achane (calf) haven't had contact for weeks."
The Miami Dolphins open the season at Indianapolis with coach Mike McDaniel 3-0 in season openers. The team has gone 10-11 overall and 3-7 on the road since a 28-27 loss to Tennessee late in 2023. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is 8-7 in starts since that loss and 1-4 on the road. Offensive timing is a concern as the Tagovailoa-to-Hill connection reunites after almost nine months and struggled late last season, while Darren Waller lacks recent game reps and Austin Jackson and De'Von Achane have been limited by injuries. Jason Sanders is sidelined and Riley Patterson was signed in August to handle kicking duties.
