The 1-5 Miami Dolphins visit the 1-5 Cleveland Browns on Sunday in a game that does not bring a lot of appeal to the national television market. Both teams are trying to find a way to excite their fan base despite a miserable season, and a strong performance in Sunday’s game could alleviate some of the pressure coming from the fans.
The Browns have already made the move to rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel, trading veteran Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals. Will Gabriel’s play on Sunday, and throughout the rest of the season, be strong enough for Browns fans to feel like they are headed in the right direction?
Miami is stuck in their own way at this point. Injuries, penalties, play calling, questionable press conferences, and bad execution have plagued the team throughout the first six weeks. Can they stop beating themselves almost as much as their opponents each week?
Sunday’s game is on CBS, with Spero Dedes and Adam Archuleta on the call. The broadcast region is limited to South Florida up through Orlando and most of Ohio. No one else seems to care about this game – and probably rightfully so at this point in the year.
The map below, via 506Sports.com, shows where the game will be seen. Local affiliates could still elect to switch which game they will carry. We will revisit the map on Sunday.
