Looking At The Dolphins
The Dolphins are coming off a year where they missed the NFL playoffs with a 7-10 record.
They have made a lot of changes that included letting go of Tagovailoa and moving on from head coach Mike McDaniel.
On September 13, the Dolphins will play their first game of the new NFL season when they go on the road to visit the Las Vegas Raiders.
