The Lions are a 4-point underdog this week, likely leading to a passing game script.This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.Opposing offenses have rushed for the 8th-least yards in the league (just 106 per game) vs. the Miami Dolphins defense this year.The Miami Dolphins defensive ends profile as the 3rd-best collection of DEs in the league this year with their run defense.The Miami Dolphins have stacked the box against opponents on 21.4% of their plays since the start of last season, 5th-most in football. Bringing an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
