Ravens vs Dolphins Week 9: Game Preview
Thursday Night Football heats up in Week 9 as the Baltimore Ravens visit the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium. Both teams have endured up-and-down seasons, making this a crucial AFC matchup.
Baltimore (2-5) is desperate to climb back into contention, and early reports suggest Lamar Jackson could return from his hamstring injury — a potential game-changer for the Ravens’ offense.
Miami (2-6), meanwhile, is coming off a dominant win over the Falcons and looks to build momentum behind Tua Tagovailoa and a resurgent passing attack.

1. Lamar Jackson’s Return
Baltimore’s offense sputtered in Jackson’s absence, but his return could immediately change the dynamic. His dual-threat ability forces Miami’s defense to adjust, particularly in the red zone.
2. Tua Tagovailoa Finding Rhythm
Tua’s four-TD performance against Atlanta reminded fans what this offense can do when he’s protected. Miami’s quick-strike passing game could test a Ravens secondary ranked near the bottom in EPA allowed.
3. Defense Struggles Could Push the Over
Both teams rank among the league’s worst in points allowed per drive, suggesting that the Over 50.5 might hold the most value this week.
With two explosive quarterbacks and shaky defenses, the smart play is expecting points. Miami could hang around, but Baltimore’s ground game and experience may carry them through late.
