Miami's season statistics are highly misleading because of Tua Tagovailoa missing four games. Tagovailoa has been back for the past two games - and Miami has regained its explosiveness scoring 27 points each against the Bills and Cardinals.

Tagovailoa has completed 80.3 percent of his throws for three touchdowns and no interceptions during these last two weeks. He makes everyone around him much better. The Rams' defense has shown improvement, but it's not good enough when going against a strong offense.

Despite this being a non-conference matchup, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel is familiar with the Rams' defense and Sean McVay because of his time coaching the 49ers' offense.

Matthew Stafford is playing at a high level for the Rams. He has his two star wideouts healthy again, which makes a huge difference. The Dolphins have only four takeaways on the season and rank 19th in scoring defense.
