Is a Super Bowl preview on tap Sunday night?
The Dolphins and Eagles have been two of the NFL’s most dynamic teams this season, both starting 5-1 through six weeks and establishing themselves as forces in their respective conferences.
For the Eagles, this is nothing new. Philadelphia rumbled to an NFC title behind a breakout season from Jalen Hurts in 2022 and entered this year as a prime Super Bowl contender once again.
The Dolphins, on the other hand, are doing what they couldn’t sustain last season. Miami’s offense looked dynamic through three weeks in 2022, but the Dolphins limped to the finish line largely due to injuries to Tua Tagovailoa.

With Tagovailoa healthy, Tyreek Hill on pace for a record season and offseason addition Jalen Ramsey nearing a return, the Dolphins are hoping they can keep their momentum alive through the end of the season and ride it to their first AFC East title in 15 years.
The Eagles are coming off of a stunning loss to the Jets, so there is some pressure on Philadelphia to avoid a rare losing streak and stay a step ahead of the Cowboys in the NFC East.

(All times Eastern)
10:47 p.m. INTERCEPTION — The Dolphins have been impressive on third down tonight, but not that time. Tagovailoa’s pass to Mostert is picked off by Darius Slay, and Miami’s defense suddenly has to meet the moment to keep this game within one possession.
10:44 p.m. — You think the Dolphins are happy to have Waddle back on the field? He rescues Miami’s drive with a first down catch on 3rd & 12.
End of third quarter: Eagles 24, Dolphins 17
10:39 p.m. — Jaylen Waddle is back in the game and makes his presence felt with a first down catch to start the Dolphins’ drive.
Eagles 24, Dolphins 17
10:35 p.m. TOUCHDOWN — What an answer from the Eagles! A.J. Brown breaks a tackle and goes right into the end zone to put the Eagles back in front. It’s 24-17.

10:20 p.m. — James Bradberry appears to get ahold of Cedrick Wilson’s face mask on 4th & 3, but no flag flies. The Dolphins turn it over on downs.
10:19 p.m. — Tyreek Hill just can’t hang onto what would’ve been a big-time catch. It’s not a fumble, but it is a fourth down for the Dolphins. They’ll go for it.
10:16 p.m. — Raheem Mostert is running wild. He rips off back-to-back runs of 21 and 15 yards, respectively, and the Dolphins are deep into Eagles territory just like that.

10:11 p.m. — The Eagles manage only one first down on the drive, and the Dolphins have a chance to get pretty strong field position after Philadelphia’s first punt of the night.
10:10 p.m. — Zach Sieler gets to Hurts and takes him down for a loss of three yards.
10:06 p.m. — The Eagles will be backed up deep in their own territory to start the next drive, but it’s a big opportunity for Hurts and co. to stretch the lead back to two possessions.
10:05 p.m. — Miami will punt from just past midfield, after a drive that started with some promise.
10:04 p.m. — The Dolphins face 3rd & 18, largely the result of a holding penalty. Tagovailoa has already converted one of these tonight.

10:00 p.m. — Hill picks up where he left off and goes 17 yards to give this Dolphins drive an early spark.
End of first half: Eagles 17, Dolphins 10
9:45 p.m. — Any hope the Eagles had of doing something before halftime ends with a Jaelan Phillips sack of Hurts. Philadelphia will go to halftime up 17-10.
9:43 p.m. — Hill is up to 65 yards on eight catches. No other Dolphins receiver has more than two catches, and Hill now has 879 yards on the season.
Eagles 17, Dolphins 10

7:41 p.m. — Believe it or not, Tyreek Hill has a chance to break 1,000 yards tonight. He would need 186, but with the way he’s played this season, that at least seems to be within reach.

Dolphins vs. Eagles start time
Date: Sunday, Oct. 22
Start time: 8:20 p.m. ET
Sunday night’s game between the Dolphins and Eagles is set to kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Penn.
The Eagles haven’t beaten the Dolphins since 2011, when Miami’s loss resulted in the firing of coach Tony Sparano the following day. The Dolphins got the better of Philadelphia in both 2015 and 2019, but none of those matchups carried the anticipation that this one does.
