- Tyreek Hill has totaled a lot more receiving yards per game (100.0) this year than he did last year (82.0).
Cons
- The Dolphins are a huge 7-point underdog in this week’s game, which points towards an extreme passing game script.

- The Miami Dolphins have run the least plays in the NFL this year, totaling a measly 54.0 plays per game.
- Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 29.8 pass attempts per game against the Green Bay Packers defense this year: least in the league.
