The Miami Dolphins are staying at home after two weeks on the road to take on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium, as Mike McDaniel’s team looks to improve their record to 7-3.
Miami is entering this matchup having won their last three despite injury issues piling up on the defensive side of the ball. New additions Bradley Chubb and Jeff Wilson Jr. made their debuts in aqua and orange last week and both appeared to fit right in, making immediate impacts.
The Browns, quarterbacked by former Dolphin Jacoby Brissett, haven’t been great this year. However, they have a number of talented players, led by a great one-two punch at running back that can really control a game and give them a chance against most opponents.
