Dolphins Schedule Outlook and Flex Possibilities
The Miami Dolphins have already got appeared in prime time twice season, and at this level it could be a significant shock in the event that they did not have a 3rd night time sport — although we cannot know for certain for some time.
The Dolphins’ Week 15 sport in opposition to the Buffalo Payments at Highmark Stadium is amongst 5 designated earlier than the season at TBD for both Saturday, Dec. 17 or Sunday, Dec. 18, and at this level it is simply essentially the most enticing of the matchups. The NFL will take three of the 5 matchups and put them in three Saturday slots — 1 p.m., 4:15 and eight:30 p.m.
The NFL will announce the Week 15 schedule on the conclusion of Week 13 — the Dolphins play at San Francisco on Dec. 4.
Together with Miami at Buffalo, the opposite video games not but scheduled in Week 15 are Baltimore and Cleveland, Indianapolis at Minnesota, Atlanta at New Orleans, and the New York Giants at Washington.
Presently, by report alone, the Dolphins-Payments matchup certain appears like the perfect one, contemplating it is the one one which options two groups presently with a successful report. After which should you issue within the nationwide enchantment of Josh Allen and the rising nationwide enchantment of the Dolphins’ high-flying passing sport with Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and you’ve got a really robust main candidate for that sport.
Taking part in at Buffalo on Saturday night time, Dec. 17, could be fairly the problem for the Dolphins, not solely due to the potential climate circumstances but in addition as a result of that sport wraps up a three-game street journey and comes on a brief week after the sport at San Francisco.
One other chance is for the Dolphins-Payments sport to be flexed out to the Sunday night time spot instead of the presently scheduled New England at Las Vegas.
The Patriots aren’t usually a workforce that will get flexed out, however the Raiders season goes up in flames and the NFL would possibly resolve Miami-Buffalo is a way more fascinating matchup that can appeal to extra viewers.

THE DOLPHINS AND OTHER SUNDAY NIGHTS
With the Dolphins at 6-3 and looking out on the very actual chance of being 8-3 by the top of November with video games in opposition to the Browns and Texans forward, they certain would appear like workforce that will be interesting for Sunday Evening Soccer down the stretch.
However it’s not fairly that straightforward.
In Week 13, the Dolphins have that sport at San Francisco, which needs to be very interesting with the standard of the groups and the Mike McDaniel going through the 49ers storyline … however the scheduled SNF sport is Indy at Dallas, and it is tough (really, borderline unimaginable) to see the Cowboys getting flexed out no matter what the Colts’ report is at the moment.
However we additionally by no means thought we might see the massively fashionable Pittsburgh Steelers get flexed out of prime time and it is simply what occurred for Week 13 when the NFL changed their residence sport in opposition to Cincinnati because the Sunday night time sport in favor of the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs on the Los Angeles Chargers matchup. In that case, nevertheless, the NFL changed one TV darling workforce (Pittsburgh) with one other (Kansas Metropolis), and neither the Dolphins nor 49ers can match Dallas by way of nationwide tv enchantment.
In Week 14, the Dolphins have one other juicy matchup in opposition to the Chargers at SoFi Stadium and there is the Tua-Justin Herbert matchup on high of it … however the SNF sport is Chiefs at Broncos, and are we actually anticipating Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to be faraway from prime time?
Perhaps the most important probability for a flex might be Week 17 when the Dolphins play at New England, if the sport has main playoff implications, as a result of the scheduled Sunday night time sport is Rams at Chargers, and that sport might be moved out of prime time if there are not any playoff implications.
As a reminder, the Sunday night time sport for Week 18 will likely be set after Week 17 and will likely be dependent upon playoff ramifications, and people might come into play for the Dolphins finale in opposition to the New York Jets at Arduous Rock Stadium contemplating each groups are 5-3 after eight video games.
In a brand new twist this season, along with the standard season-ending Sunday night time sport, the NFL will pull out two extra video games and schedule them for Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET and eight:15 p.m. ET.
It additionally needs to be famous there will likely be no flexing of the schedule in Week 16. That is Christmas weekend, and the Dolphins will face the Inexperienced Bay Packers at Arduous Rock Stadium at 1 p.m. as one in all three video games on Dec. 25.
