While the Dolphins boast the league’s most explosive and dynamic offense, questions about the team’s inability to triumph against elite teams are gaining prominence. The Dolphins are 5-0 against teams under .500, 4-0 when they hold the opposition to fewer than 22 points, and 3-0 at Hard Rock Stadium.

Contrastingly, they are 0-2 against teams above .500, were blown out in Buffalo and comprehensively beaten in Philadelphia. The answer to those justified doubts will have to wait but will invariably resurface when Mike McDaniel’s team visits Kanas City in Week 9.

In the meantime, the Dolphins must focus their attention on another subpar team. The Patriots, 1-2 on the road, enter the game on the back of a 29-25 victory over the Bills, their most impressive performance of the campaign.

New England lost 24-17 to the Dolphins at home in Week 2, and things won’t get any easier in Miami. McDaniel’s team will be in a sour mood after being handed their second defeat of the season and should return to the win column.

At the time of writing, the Dolphins were favored by 9.5 points. The Patriots have been immeasurably better since losing in Week 4 and 5 by a combined 72-3. Expect Bill Belichick’s team to continue on their improved trajectory and cover, albeit in a losing cause.

Tyreek Hill epitomizes the Dolphins’ offense: explosive, lightning-quick, and potentially lethal from anywhere on the field. Aside from the lopsided defeat in Buffalo, Hill has scored a touchdown in every game. He has seven touchdowns in as many games and should have another highlight-reel outing against the league’s 12th-ranked pass defense.

Yes, the Patriots’ defense is usually adept at stopping explosive plays.

However, Christian Gonzalez, their sensational rookie cornerback who held Tyreek to his lowest output of the season in Week 2, just 40 yards, is injured and won’t play. Look for Hill to take advantage of his absence.

Back to the league’s most dynamic and electrifying wide receiver: Hill has exceeded 89.5 receiving yards in four of seven contests, falling just short in last week’s defeat to the Eagles, where he caught 11 passes for 88 yards.

Hill’s dominance at Hard Rock Stadium this season is even more staggering. In three contests at home, Hill has 157 yards, 181 yards, and 163 yards, respectively. Those mammoth games came against the Broncos (30th-ranked pass defense), the Giants (14th), and the Panthers (9th), the latter two having similarly ranked pass defenses to the Patriots (12th).
