It won’t be easy for O’Connell against an improving and aggressive Miami defense, either. Hard Rock Stadium against the Fins’ offense is a drastic, overwhelming task for a Raiders’ defense that’s held up but lacks talent and gets exposed against better operations (Bills, Chargers, Lions this season). The Giants are the worst team in the NFL, the Jets’ are highly mistake-prone, and their offense has no explosiveness whatsoever. McDaniel is one of the most creative offensive coaches in modern history, and the results in 1.5 years of Miami offense under his direction are clear, and it’s not like the Raiders have been beating up on world-class franchises. We’re confident that’ll come to an abrupt end in Week 11. Rookie QB Aidan O’Connell is playing well and throwing with confidence as the black and silver’s new starter, Davante Adams went from slamming his helmet on the sidelines to dancing in the locker room since the change, and most importantly– Vegas has won two straight under their new coach. Antonio Pierce has led a resurgent effort in Vegas, replacing the maligned Josh McDaniels as the anti-snob, a hard-nosed ex-player who grew up in southern California and won at the highest level with the New York Giants. Their next four games will give them a great chance to extend that lead (LV, NYJ, WAS, TEN), starting with Sunday against the Raiders. Despite a loss in Week 9, the Dolphins lead the AFC East. What we can anticipate, however, is a Dolphins’ offense getting back to what it does best on its home field in a very winnable matchup in Week 11. The Chiefs were coming into that game after a loss, and last year’s champions are never an easy opponent, so we won’t go overboard or overreact to Miami’s stumble in Frankfurt.

Coming off a bye week, the Dolphins head home after falling short in Germany against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9. Second-year coach Mike McDaniel and his quarterback have formed a noticeable bond that’s as crucial to their offense’s success as any matchup advantage or scheme.

No team is more explosive (0.515 points per play) or accrues more yards on average every week (435.3). To no one’s surprise, the Miami Dolphins are one of the league’s premier offenses.
