Miami Dolphins Form
Miami are one of just two teams still boasting a perfect record after three weeks of the season.
The Dolphins opened with a 20-7 win at home to New England, before coming storming back to beat Baltimore 42-38 on the road.
They then made it three-in-a-row last Sunday, upsetting Super Bowl favourites Buffalo 21-19.
The victory came at a cost though, as starting QB Tua Tagovailoa suffered an injury during the game.
Tagovailoa has cleared the league’s concussion protocol, but with this being a short week his status for Week 4 is up in the air.
The Miami QB has made a strong start to the season, going 72/101 for 925 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions. He also has a rushing score.
Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill have been the key weapons in the passing game, combining for 659 receiving yards and five TDs.
The run game has not been firing though – Chase Edmonds is the team leader with 79 rushing yards and two TDs, while Raheem Mostert has 78 yards on the ground.
On the opposite side of the football Miami’s defense is middle of the pack.
The Dolphins have allowed 21.3 points per game to rank #16, and 413.7 yards per game to rank #31.
Cincinnati Bengals Form
Cincinnati go into the game having finally got their first win on the board last Sunday.
The Bengals appeared to be suffering from a Super Bowl hangover as they lost their first two games of the season.
They were beaten 23-20 in overtime by Pittsburgh at home, before losing 20-17 at Dallas the following weekend.
Cincinnati were able to avoid an 0-3 start last Sunday though, as they ran out 27-12 winners at the New York Jets.
QB Joe Burrow had his best game of the season so far and is now 80/125 for 812 yards, six touchdowns and four picks.
Ja’Marr Chase is the team’s leading receiver with 212 yards and two touchdowns, while Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd have combined for 346 yards and three TDs.
Joe Mixon is the team’s biggest weapon out of the backfield and has 266 yards from scrimmage.
And while the Bengals have made a slow start at 1-2, their defense has done a strong job through three weeks.
The Bengals are top 10 in both yards and points allowed per game, giving up 210.7 yards and 18.3 points.
