Dolphins matchup vs. Patriots in Week 2
The Dolphins better hope these numbers look a lot like this over the weekend. Tua had a rough opening game against the Colts in a 33-8 loss.
Miami can't afford to fall to 0-2.
Tagovailoa is healthy, and that's not a given. So while he's out there, the Dolphins have to play much better to keep his streak against the Patriots going.
