DOLPHINS STATISTICS

Dolphins’ keys to victory: QB Ryan Tannehill will need to continue to take care of the football — he has thrown four touchdown passes against two interceptions in the first two games. Another key for the Dolphins in winning their first two games has been their ability to run the ball. In their 20-12 win over the Jets, the Dolphins rushed for 135 yards, including 53 yards and a touchdown by RB Kenyan Drake.

Matchup to watch: RT Donald Penn vs. DE Cameron Wake. The confrontation between two veterans on the right side of the line should be fun. Wake is a five-time Pro Bowler, and Penn has been chosen for the Pro Bowl three times.

Who wins? The Dolphins appear to be the better team right now. Ryan Tannehill is dong a good job of taking care of the football, and the Dolphins are committed to the running game to take pressure off him.
