In Week 3, the Miami Dolphins faced the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football. In Week 4, the Dolphins hosted the New York Jets on Monday Night Football. In Week 5, Miami returns to the traditional Sunday afternoon schedule, visiting the Carolina Panthers at 1 p.m. Eastern later today. Will the team that showed up during both primetime games be back this week, or will the team revert to the under-performing unit that was on the field during the first two weeks of the year?
Miami is 1-3, but has improved over the last two weeks and is in a position to make it back-to-back wins with a good performance against the Panthers. Carolina is also 1-3 on the season after dropping their Week 4 game against the New England Patriots. They will be looking to bounce back against an inconsistent Dolphins team.
