The Chargers and Dolphins face off in Week 9 with both teams trying to stay alive in the race for their respective divisions.
Streeter Lecka
The Dolphins, fresh off a 27-13 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars, are looking for their third win in a row. After starting the year 1-2, the Dolphins have won three of four and have won consecutive games for the first time this season. With San Diego coming in at 5-3, this game could go a long way toward determining a potential wild card berth in the AFC playoffs.
Both teams will also be trying to stay alive in the race for their respective divisions. Miami is 1½ games behind the AFC East-leading New England Patriots, and the Chargers sit two games behind 6-1 Denver.
This will be a matchup of contrasting styles offensively. Pro Bowl quarterback Philip Rivers leads San Diego's eighth-ranked passing offense, while Ryan Tannehill has thrown just 11 touchdowns to six interceptions this year for the Dolphins. Miami, led by running back Lamar Miller, ranks No. 6 in rushing offense. The Chargers, however, have been decimated by injuries to their running back corps and rank No. 30 in rushing with 85.8 yards per game on the ground.
