Thursday Night Football Jaguars vs. Dolphins: Live stream, TV info, more
Previewing the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins. How to watch via an online live stream and more.
At this time last year, we would have mocked a Thursday Night Football matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins. There is still plenty of that going on, but in reality, this should be a fun matchup between two interesting teams.
Neither the Jaguars nor the Dolphins will be postseason contenders this season, but both teams are doing a nice job of setting themselves up for the future. Make no mistake about it, there will be a lot of young talent on the field on Thursday night.
Through two games, quarterback Gardner Minshew has looked like a real franchise quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Minshew has completed 75.4-percent of his passes for 512 yards and six touchdowns.
He did throw two interceptions last week against the Tennessee Titans, but he was also a major reason why the Jags were able to make that game close. Minshew is undoubtedly a talented playmaker who could be setting himself up as the long-term quarterback for Jacksonville.
It will also be interesting to watch undrafted rookie running back James Robinson on the field for the Jags on Thursday night. Last weekend, Robinson carried the ball 16 times for 102 yards and a touchdown. He could feast against a Miami defense that has struggled through two weeks.
With DJ Chark sitting out this one with chest and back injuries, Keelan Cole and rookie Laviska Shenault will likely be the top options for Minshew in the passing game. Both Cole and Shenault have started the year strong and could have massive games against Miami on Thursday night.
The Dolphins have had a less than ideal 0-2 start to the season. Ryan Fitzpatrick has struggled to get the offense going and their defense has allowed 440.5 total yards per game, the third-highest average in the entire NFL.
With Byron Jones out, the Dolphins will be leaning heavily on rookie defensive back Noah Igbinoghene in this one. Igbinoghene is a talented player, but he will undoubtedly be picked on by Minshew and company. Can he hold up?
