The Detroit Lions (5-2) head to South Florida to face the Miami Dolphins (1-6) on Sunday.
The Dolphins are a franchise in rebuild mode. Miami has a whopping $190 million in dead money this season as the Dolphins moved on from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, safeties Jalen Ramsey and Minkah Fitzpatrick, and linebacker Bradley Chubb.
Still, Miami has managed to remain competitive. Three of the Dolphins' six losses have come by a touchdown or less.
Meanwhile, Detroit is looking to win its fourth in a row as the Lions try to keep pace in one of the NFL's most competitive divisions in the NFC North.
As kickoff arrives, follow along for live updates, including the latest score, highlights, injury news, and analysis
