Dolphins vs. Raiders Preview

This match-up is at 1:00 pm eastern time

You can view it on CBS or NFL RedZone

With the Miami Dolphins coming off a disappointing loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Dolphins need to win this game if they want to stay in the race for the NFC East title. Ranked 29th in the league for total passing yards, it is something that the Dolphins have to work on if they want to come out of this game with a victory. The Raiders are in the hunt to claim their first win of the season, but they have had trouble getting the ball into the end zone and as a result have score the fewest points of all teams in the league. Depending on which team plays harder, and for the whole game, will depend on who wins.
