The first key to victory for the Patriots is to contain the Dolphins’ outside rushing attack, which sets up their explosive passing game. The Dolphins utilize their dynamic playmakers, including Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill, by establishing a strong ground game led by De’Von Achane, Raheem Mostert and others.

Dugger will be paramount in limiting Hill and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and in stopping speedy running backs De’Von Achane, Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright. The Patriots will likely have to go lighter on defense to account for the Dolphins’ speed. That could result in more snaps in the box for Dugger, who can’t keep whiffing on tackles.
