With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa limited to 11 games because of a concussion and hip injury last season, the Dolphins were just 2-6 through their first eight games but won six of their final nine to finish with a 9-8 record. Tagovailoa’s health and his connection with Ferrari speed on the outside in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are again major factors in Miami’s ability to rebound in 2025 and look more like the ‘23 group that went 11-6, led the NFL in total offense (401.3 ypg) and scored the second-most points (29.2 ppg).
The Colts will debut first-round pick tight end Tyler Warren as part of a Colts attack anchored in the run game by Jonathan Taylor and through the air by veteran quarterback Daniel Jones. Indianapolis spent just one week over the .500 mark last season on its way to an 8-9 record and a runner-up finish in the AFC South Division, then added a jack-of-all-trades in Warren on offense and made the bulk of their free agency moves trying to shore up a defense that allowed the fourth-most total yards (361.2 ypg), seventh-most passing yards (229.4 ypg) and ninth-most rushing yards (131.8 ypg) in the NFL last season.
The Dolphins and Colts are set for a 1 p.m. ET start on CBS. Live streams are available from DirecTV (free trial) and FuboTV (low intro rate).
The game will also stream on Paramount+.
