The 3-2 Miami Dolphins will face the Minnesota Vikings (4-1) at Hard Rock Stadium Sunday in Week 6 of the season; here are some keys to the game to watch for:
Dolphins’ starting quarterback
It’s rookie Skylar Thompson starting at quarterback, not veteran Teddy Bridgewater, as many expected. We’ll see whether Thompson can get wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle the ball consistently. It’s the key to a successful offense. Yes, the running game had its best outing last Sunday with Raheem Mostert rushing for 113 yards, but the Dolphins only scored two touchdowns. It’ll be up to Thompson to get the ball to Hill and Waddle where they can get yards after the catch or to hit them deep, and Thompson has shown he has the arm strength to throw deep and accurate passes.
