Broncos dolphins game televised

Special teams collected 11 points for Miami. K Jason Sanders delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game. Meanwhile, Denver found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate punch to the gut against the Las Vegas Raiders last week.

One thing working slightly against Denver was the run-of-the-mill game of their most targeted running back, RB Melvin Gordon , who rushed for 46 yards on 11 carries. The Dolphins are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4-point margin of victory.

They are currently five-for-five against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account. Miami's victory lifted them to while Denver's loss dropped them down to Regardless of whether Drew Lock or Brett Rypien starts, Denver's passing attack must avoid the kinds of mistakes that turn into short fields for Miami's offense.

The reason that Denver really can't afford to give Miami short fields on offense is that the Dolphins have been very effective when they get into the red zone.

Overall, they rank 13th in red-zone percentage, but in just the last three games, they're third in the league. With rookie QB Tua Tagovailoa leading the offense, Miami has been able to avoid catastrophic mistakes.

But if the Broncos' defense can lure Tagovailoa into just one, they could be in position to stop Miami's streak.

As Lock battles a rib injury, his status is in doubt for Sunday. LB Joe Jones is the only Broncos player who has been ruled out. Miami, meanwhile, is mostly healthy.

It was their ability to keep Miami at arm's length that ultimately led to the victory. Denver mixed together enough big plays and a strong rushing attack to keep drives going. The AFC West franchise averaged 5. The outcome was ultimately sealed with an interception by safety Justin Simmons in the end zone. The Dolphins were unable to do anything on offense. They turned a Drew Lock interception into a touchdown in the first quarter but that was the extent of their offensive success.

Tua Tagovailoa had been dealing with a foot injury in practice all week and never looked comfortable in the pocket against an aggressive Denver defense. After the game, head coach Brian Flores revealed that Tagovailoa had been benched based on performance but will return to the starting lineup next week. With remaining in the first quarter, Tua Tagovailoa threw a 3-yard fade to wide receiver Devante Parker in the end zone.

Parker was able to toe tap one foot and drag the other before falling out of bounds. At the time, it gave Miami an early lead.

Parker had three receiving touchdowns coming into the game. After the play, Broncos cornerback A. Bouye was adamant that Parker did not catch the pass inbounds.

He aggressively pointed to marks on the turf to plead his case. Parker and a teammate went to the catch point and made their own sarcastic points to the field. The touchdown stood after a review.

Miami's next two games are against the Jets and Bengals. Those two teams have a combined record.
