On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins face an important test as the team plays host to the Las Vegas Raiders. Left behind the eight-ball due to star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missing weeks’ worth of action after suffering another concussion, the 3-6 Dolphins need to string together wins to get back in the playoff picture.

That makes Sunday’s home game against the 2-7 Raiders pretty much a must-win game for Miami, at least if the team wants to make the playoffs for the third straight year under head coach Mike McDaniel. The Dolphins got back on track last weekend on Monday Night Football, defeating the Los Angeles Rams 23-15 on the road.

Tagovailoa led the way for Miami in the vital win, completing 20 of his 28 passes for 207 yards and one touchdown, though he did throw an interception and lose a fumble in the outing, giving him plenty to clean up for Sunday’s game against Las Vegas.
Las Vegas, meanwhile, is coming off a 41-24 defeat at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals two weeks ago, one in which quarterback Gardner Minshew was benched in favor of former Atlanta Falcons signal-caller Desmond Ridder, who came in and completed 11 of 16 passes for 74 yards and one touchdown.
Even despite the benching, head coach Antonio Pierce announced this week that the team would be sticking to Minshew as its starting quarterback. Whether that proves to be the right decision or not remains to be seen, but having to face a tough Dolphins defense on Sunday will prove a tough ask for either quarterback.
