If Tagovailoa is unable to play, Dolphins coach Brian Flores will turn to 1 6 -year veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick to start for the second straight week. ... The Dolphins are trying to toe the line of vying for playoff contention while needing to get Tagovailoa, their 2 0 2 0 No. 5 pick, experience in the final five games of the regular season. ...

The Dolphins enter this game winners in six of their past seven games, second in the AFC East behind the Buffalo Bills, and in the playoff hunt with the No. 6 seed in the AFC standings. A win will help Miami keep pace with the other teams vying for a playoff spot. …

The Bengals will be without 2 0 2 0 No. 1 pick Joe Burrow for the rest of this season and into 2 0 2 1 after the former LSU quarterback had major reconstructive knee surgery this past week. The Bengals will start former practice squad member Brandon Allen at quarterback for the second straight week.
