The Miami Dolphins have had quite the dramatic couple of weeks to say the least and now the team will get down to football past the Richie Incognito-Jonathan Martin situation as they travel to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road for Week 10 of Monday night football at Raymond James Stadium starting up at 8:30 pm and streaming on the WatchESPN website.
The Dolphins come into the game after winning over the Bengals in dramatic fashion last week with an overtime victory on a sack of Andy Dalton for a safety and now the team plays the winless and terrible Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Lamar Miller had his best game of the season with over 100 yards in the win and now the team will try and keep the Bucs from putting a W in the win column on the road before heading into a tough home stretch against the Chargers and Panthers. The Dolphins come into the game amid a huge firestorm with the Richie Incognito situation and while some from the team and the media have focused on the players, the organization will be getting some attention as well and that could mean trouble for the coaching staff and front office execs and that makes the game on Monday night a nice attention keeper for a few hours.

The Dolphins got off to a great start to the season with three straight wins and they looked like one of the surprise teams in the league after missing the playoffs last season, but after defeating the Atlanta Falcons at home to start 3-0, the team lost its next four games in a row before rebounding against Cincinnati last Thursday. The team has been terrible on the offensive line, giving up over 30 sacks this season for one of the highest totals in the league and they have not done a good job giving time to the quarterback, as Ryan Tannehill has been sacked four times in six of the Dolphins eight games and they will need to play better against a tough Buccaneers front. The Dolphins played three of their first four games on the road and won two of those matchups and now they will play on the road after last losing against the New England Patriots two weeks ago.
The team has two home games coming up with the San Diego Chargers and the Carolina Panthers and those games will be very tough as they continue to deal with the bullying and workplace scandal with Jonathan Martin and after playing Cam Newton and the improved Cats, the team has two away games against the New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers and heading into the final stretch of the season, the team has four divisional games in the final five weeks and two against the Jets. The team plays the New England Patriots at home in Week 15 of the season and on the road after that are the Buffalo Bills before the final game of the season at home against the New York Jets. The Fins have not been consistent on either side of the ball and Joe Philbin is terrible as a person and now they come in with the 20th ranked passing offense and they are also ranked in the bottom part of the league with less than 100 yards per game.
The Buccaneers are winless and the team has had its fair share of controversy with Greg
Schiano and his ways and now the team comes in after a very close loss on the road against the Seattle Seahawks that saw the game go into overtime. The team lost by three and looked fairly good in the game and they come in after Mike James has taken over as the starting running back for Doug Martin, who will be out for the season with a shoulder injury. James had over 150 yards last week and the team is now in a stretch of three road games in five weeks and they will have their only Monday night matchup of the year against a Florida rival and heading into the back stretch they have some tough games against the Detroit Lions as well as the San Francisco 49ers and the New Orleans Saints. The team plays on MNF on ESPN against the Miami Dolphins at Raymond James Stadium at 8:30 pm.
