Detroit clearly recognized his talent as a tackler and want to use that as a weapon. Advantage: Draw. Even if the Dolphins have a slight advantage here—and I think they may—Miami runs the ball so infrequently, that I don’t think this matchup will have a big enough impact on the overall outcome to move the needle in either direction. Among teams who have played seven games thus far, the Dolphins rank third-to-last in rushing attempts despite holding the lead often.
This week, with Swift presumably back, they’ll be going against an elite run defense. This is truly strength vs. strength and should tell us a lot about how good this Lions run offense truly is when at full strength. Dolphin pass offense (3rd) vs. Lions pass defense (31st) Week 4: Tua Tagovailoa left in the first halfWeek 5: Mostly Skylar Thompson after Teddy Bridgewater was injured on first snapWeek 6: Mostly Teddy Bridgewater after Skylar Thompson suffered injury in second quarter If you take away the three games he didn’t finish, Tua Tagovailoa has produced a passer rating above the defense’s averages in each of his four games—and many of those against very good pass defenses.
The Lions have said they plan on keeping with the same strategy going forward, but how effective will they be with game film out there and against different schemes and talent? At this point, I have very little faith in any predictive power over this defense, other than I expect it to continue to be a below-average unit. Player to watch: Jeff Okudah. Last week, Okudah posted a 90. 1 PFF run defense grade—by far the best among Week 7 cornerbacks.
The Lions are definitely not one of the best passing defenses in the league, so I don’t see how they win this matchup. Even their potentially-improved pass rush may not matter, as Tagovailoa gets the ball out faster than all but five quarterbacks this year. Dolphins run offense (17th) vs. Lions run defense (29th) By almost any metric, this is a pretty below-average rushing attack from the Dolphins. They’re 25th in yards per carry (3. 9), 25th in expected points average per rush, and they’re also dead last in short-yardage success, converting those opportunities just 44 percent of the time.
They’ve been a little better as of late, though. In the past four weeks, Raheem Mostert—who has established himself as the RB1 over Chase Edmunds—has tallied 310 rushing yards on 63 carries (4. 9 YPC). Even though it felt like the Lions run defense took a step last week, at least some of that was due to a rushing attack that is average, at best. Still, it was a step in the right direction—going from horrible to just meh. Because the Lions made so many defensive adjustments last week, it’s hard to know how much predictive power last week’s results have.

And given that Okudah cannot cover both Hill and Waddle at the same time, it would make sense for Tagovailoa to target Oruwariye, who despite a nice game last week, still ranks dead last in PFF grade (28. 6). Advantage: Dolphins +4. It’s hard to imagine a more nightmarish matchup for the Lions. This Dolphins passing offense is speedy, electric, and when they get into a rhythm, even the best pass defenses have trouble keeping up.
Tyreek Hill currently leads the league in receiving yards, while Jaylen Waddle is fourth. The Lions passing defense has been really, really bad all season, and there isn’t just one reason for it. They’ve struggled to rush the passer (31st in pass rush win rate), they’ve struggled to cover (32nd in PFF coverage grade), and injuries have plagued them everywhere. This week, the Lions look to be hurting, especially at the safety position.
Detroit Lions vs. Miami Dolphins: Preview and predictionsThe Detroit Lions desperately need to course correct, starting the year out with a disappointing 1-5.

By pass defense DVOA, the Patriots rank fifth, Ravens eighth, Bills fourth, and Steelers 15th. Tagovailoa—more or less—vanquished them all. Overall, here’s where Tua ranks statistically: Completion percentage: 67. 3 (6th) Yards per attempt: 8. 6 (1st) Passer rating: 105. 9 (4th) TD percentage: 6. 0 (4th) INT percentage: 2. 0 (18th) That said, Tagovailoa is prone to making mistakes. As pointed out by Erik Schlitt in his five keys to victory, Tagovailoa has the second-highest turnover-worthy plays percentage. Of course, the highlight of the Dolphins passing attack is their two-headed hydra of receivers.
