Buccaneers at Dolphins: Everything You Need To Know

TAMPA, FL – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Miami Dolphins have been waiting 10 weeks to play their Week 1 matchup, which will finally take place this weekend.

The game was cancelled when Hurricane Irma approached South Florida, where the game was set to take place. With both the Bucs and the Dolphins having a shared Week 11 bye, the game and their bye weeks were swapped.

Both teams also shared the same adversity in the wake of Hurricane Irma, with people across both franchises forced to deal with evacuations and property destruction for themselves and family members as did many people across Florida. On the field, both teams have had to deal with injuries to starting quarterbacks and not living up to preseason expectations.

Coming into the game, the Buccaneers finally ended their losing streak at five games with a 15-10 victory against the New York Jets last weekend. The Dolphins, who are having an up-and-down season, are sinking again with a three-game losing streak after another embarrassing loss at the hands of the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football.
