Just a week ago head coach Joe Philbin was questioning benching quarterback Ryan Tannehill. A win and a bye week can work wonders. Heading into Week 6, the Miami Dolphins have a chance to get their season back on track with a home win over the Green Bay Packers. That would make them 3-2 and put them in line to have a shot at first place in the AFC East.
That mere possibility, combined with Green Bay’s struggles in Miami in the past make Dolphins tickets rather tantalizing this week, The average price for Dolphins vs Packers tickets is $178.88 on the secondary market, with just a $16 get-in price. The average is 23% above the season average for games at Sun Life Stadium. It is, however, still one of the least expensive games the Packers will play outside of Lambeau Field.
The good news is Miami gets healthy on offense, as Knowshon Moreno could return from an elbow injury, which could bolster the Fins’ rushing attack along with Lamar Miller. That’d be perfect timing, as Miami hosts a pretty leaky Green Bay run defense. Having Moreno and Miller to team up together against the Packers could end up being crucial, since the Packers are strong against the pass and overall have looked more stout on defense.
If the running game can’t take advantage of the matchup, Ryan Tannehill may be forced to take it to the air a little more than Miami would like. Establishing the run and keeping that necessary balance is exactly what Miami needs to earn the upset win over the Packers, who won’t be any more eager to lose their third game of the year.
It works similarly for the Packers, as Miami’s weakness so far this year is on the ground defensively. Of course, even though Miami’s pass defense is a strength, the Dolphins have to be worried about getting into a shootout with Aaron Rodgers. Miami has a real chance to take care of business at home this week. They’ll just need to execute their game plan and make sure Aaron Rodgers doesn’t stay hot for the third week in a
row.
