Carolina is 6-3 on the season, and coming off two consecutive wins. They have won four of their last six games, but they still have a long way to go to secure the NFC South division. They helped that along, though, by beating the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their last two outings.
Miami has a much longer way to go if it wants to compete for the playoffs this year, and its two consecutive losses won’t help matters. The Dolphins fell to the Oakland Raiders in a very close game their last time out, and were blown out 40-0 by the Baltimore Ravens prior to that.
The Dolphins desperately need a win to continue to compete in the AFC East, which is often the case for the teams that have to contend with the New England Patriots. Notably, the Dolphins haven’t played the Patriots yet, and won’t see them until Nov. 26.
It’s been a weird season for Miami, with Jay Cutler throwing passes. He’s played decent football overall, especially over the past couple games. He has completed 66.2 percent of his passes for 1,306 yards with 10 touchdowns and five interceptions. He dealt with cracked ribs but is close to 100 percent at this point in the season.
Cam Newton, on the other hand, has struggled. He’s completed 62.4 percent of his passes for 1,978 yards, 10 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He’s done a poor job of taking care of the football this season, and also has a pair of fumbles. He’s rushed for 341 yards and four touchdowns.
Below is all you need to know to watch Monday’s action.
How to Watch Miami vs. Carolina
Dolphins vs. Panthers news:
- The biggest injury news for the Dolphins is the groin injury sustained by starting right tackle Ja’Wuan James. He will miss Monday’s game and could miss a whole lot more on top of that, a huge issue.
- Carolina also has significant injury issues on the offensive line, with tackle Ryan Kalil still out with a neck injury. There’s also safety Mike Adams, who at the time of writing had not cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol.
- It’s been an up-and-down season for Cutler, but he played some of his best football the last time out, and was named the Air Player of the Week for Week 9.
