Pregame Dolphins v. Arieti | Classification
In the final game of this week, No. 10 in the NFL, the Miami Dolphins will visit the Los Angeles Rams. This meeting will be presented from 7.30 pm on the airwaves of RDS e RDS.ca with the pre-match show.
First of all it must be said that the two teams are currently going in opposite directions. While the Dolphins have lost their last three games, the Rams are on a three-game winning streak.
The Dolphins are having a very difficult season, with a record of two wins and six losses, but they are playing much better since their #1 quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, returned to the lineup. The latter has completed 80.3% of his passes since his return two weeks ago. He completed three touchdown passes and had no interceptions.
However, the Dolphins lost both games: 28-27 to the Arizona Cardinals and 30-27 to the Buffalo Bills.
The presence of Dolphins star Tyreek Hill remains uncertain, as he is tormented by a wrist injury, which has deprived him of the team’s practices in the last week.
For their part, with a victory, the Rams (4-4) could reach the San Francisco 49ers in second place in the western section of the National Association. The Cards dominate this section with a 6-4 record.
The player to watch in this matchup for Sean McVay’s men will be tackle Braden Fiske. Last week against the Seattle Seahawks, Fiske connected twice with quarterback Geno Smith behind his faceline, as well as making two more tackles for losses.
The Rams selected Fiske – who is a product of Florida State University – in the second round (39th overall) in the last draft, hoping he could somehow make up for the loss of Aaron Donald who retired at the end of last season.
The matchup between Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp and Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey is also worth watching. The two were teammates for four seasons in Los Angeles.
Last week, Kupp caught 11 passes for 104 yards against the Seahawks. For his part, Ramsey threw his first interception of the season in the loss to the Bills.
