The Miami Dolphins are staying at home this week, as they’re set to host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium.
Mike McDaniel’s team is entering this matchup hoping to improve their record to 4-2 on the season despite starting rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson due to Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater both being in the league’s concussion protocol.
On the other side, Kirk Cousins would like to lead Minnesota to a 5-1 start to the year and continue their rise in the NFC North. They’re a team that has some superstars, and they’re playing at a high level right now.
Here’s how the Dolphins and Vikings stack up statistically going into Sunday:
