Miami will try to remain unbeaten when it travels to Cincinnati for a showdown with the Bengals on Thursday night. The Dolphins are coming off an upset win over Buffalo last week, which followed a remarkable comeback win at Baltimore in Week 2. Cincinnati lost its first two games of the season before blowing out the Jets last week.
Miami will be looking to complete an unbeaten month of September on Thursday night. The Dolphins opened the season with an important divisional win over New England at home, winning in a 20-7 final. They then played one of the craziest games of the season, erasing a 21-point deficit in a 42-38 win at Baltimore. Miami was able to back that win up at home in Week 3, taking down this year’s Super Bowl favorite (Buffalo). The Dolphins exploded offensively against Baltimore, but their win against the Bills was more of a defensive grind. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for just 186 yards after throwing for 469 yards at Baltimore.

He is off to an excellent start this season, completing 71.3% of his passes for 925 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions. Running backs Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert are each averaging 3.3 yards per carry, while wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle have combined for more than 650 receiving yards. Waddle is dealing with a groin injury and is listed as questionable for this game, while Tagovailoa is probable to play through a back issue. Their offense ranks No. 13 in the NFL, averaging 355.3 yards per game. They are facing a Cincinnati defense that is No. 9, allowing 310.7 yards per contest.
