The Miami Dolphins laid a bigger egg than most everyone imagined last Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, falling 33-8. The Dolphins were historically bad on defense, and the offense was equally inept.
For those who dare to watch, Miami plays host to New England on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 pm ET on CBS. But unless you’re in the local region, you’re very likely out of luck to be able to catch the game on regular cable.

Per 506 Sports, the game will be broadcast in South Florida and up through the Tampa Bay region. However, the Jacksonville-Cincinnati game at the same time will prevent Dolphins fans in Orlando and North Florida from being able to watch the game.
The contest will be shown throughout New England and in parts of Western New York. For Miami fans in the state of Alabama or in the Florida panhandle, they will be able to watch the game locally as well.
What to watch for with Dolphins and Patriots in Week 2
I guess, normally, here I would write a particular matchup or specific area or positional grouping to keep an eye on, but my biggest question is: how will this group respond?

Is this kind of subpar (to put it nicely) output what we can expect to see on Sundays? How does this team respond if things start to go to pot again early in the contest?
Because, with the way Miami defended the Colts’ passing attack, there could be a big game coming for New England quarterback Drake Maye. How well Miami’s talented pass rushers can pressure him and make up for an already weak secondary that is now without Storm Duck is one of the most crucial keys to victory on Sunday.
That is, if this team is more ready to play football at 1:00 pm than they were last week. If not, nothing else matters.
