In the sweltering heat of Hard Rock Stadium, the Miami Dolphins (1-4) host the Los Angeles Chargers (3-2) on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET, desperate for a turnaround after a brutal 17-0 blown lead against Carolina. Tua Tagovailoa, fresh off live touchdown passes in his last two games without an interception, looks to ignite Jaylen Waddle and De’Von Achane against a Chargers defense that’s elite against the pass but vulnerable on the ground.
Meanwhile, Justin Herbert and L.A. stagger into town after back-to-back stunners to NFC East foes, plagued by injuries, and an NFL-high 24 penalties since Week 4. This rematch of 2023’s 36-34 opener could hinge on Miami’s home-field resurgence (26-9 for Tua) versus L.A.’s road woes (1-9 in Miami last decade).
Injuries have riddled the Miami Dolphins’ depth heading into Week 6, players such as DB Elijah Campbell, LB Tyrel Dodson are out for the game, with CB Storm Duck and OL Aaron Brewer listed as questionable. Multiple players on the injury report are still unspecified for the game against the Chargers.
