Week 3 Game Preview: Tua Tagovailoa and The Miami Dolphins Should Thrive Against the Denver Broncos

The home opener! Expect Hard Rock Stadium to be loud as the Miami Dolphins play in South Florida for the first time this season. Coach Mike McDaniel's squad found early success with wins in back-to-back road games against AFC opponents to kickstart the 2023 season.The Dolphins got to Mac Jones for four sacks and eight quarterback hits last week and will now face a Denver Broncos offensive line that allowed Russell Wilson to be sacked seven times against Washington last week.All eyes will be on Tua Tagovailoa and Miami's high-powered offense against a Denver defense that has struggled early in the season. Robert Mays, host of The Athletic Football Show, summarized this offense with the perfect stat: 17.5 percent of Miami's plays have been explosive so far. There is a greater gap between them at one and the team at two than between teams 2-11.Jaelan Phillips hopes to return to the lineup after missing last week's game and should play an important role against a quarterback who likes to sit in the pocket and let plays develop. Most importantly, improving to 3-0 with a win in the home opener is an opportunity Miami can't squander.Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94).
