Dolphins vs Lions Preview
The Detroit Lions (1-5) look to get into the win column for a second time this season while the Miami Dolphins (4-3) look to stop a slide on Sunday.
Miami won its first three games, including one over AFC juggernaut Buffalo, to start the season. The Dolphins then dropped three-consecutive games amid quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s injury at Cincinnati.
While Miami bounced back last week, that came against two-win Pittsburgh Steelers squad, 16-10. Tagovailoa returned in that game and threw for 261 yards and a touchdown on 21-35 passing. He said his team can’t look past the Lions, which haven’t won since Week 2.
“The Lions are better than their record, these guys play tough,” Tagovailoa said via MiamiDolphins.com.
Detroit comes into the game fresh off of a 24-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys the week before. Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw for 288 yards and two interceptions in the loss.
Goff has thrown an interception in each of the past four games, and he went without any touchdowns for the past two games. That included a 29-0 beatdown by the New England Patriots.
“It’s just stepping up a little bit. I think in the last — again, like for most of the season I’ve done a good job with it, developed maybe a bad habit in the New England game,” Goff said, via Sports Illustrated’s All Lions. “And just sliding back a little bit and just need to step up and help those guys out. Be up in the pocket a little bit more. Those tackle jobs are hard enough. When I get too deep, we have a yard mark and when I’m past that it’s on me. So, just make sure I’m within that and just do my job that way.”
Goff has shown at times that he can pile on the yards and the points. He threw for 378 yards and four touchdowns in a 48-45 loss to Seattle on October 2, and he tallied 256 yard and four touchdowns against Washington on September 18.
“I think we’ve got to refocus him on awareness in the pocket a little bit. Just continue to hammer it home,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell said via All Lions. “Sometimes, it’s just, and it’s not just him, there’s quarterbacks that will begin to drift a little bit where they feel certain things. You start moving, and you don’t realize you may be moving deeper than you need to or you’re moving into something else.”
