Dolphins at Saints
Time: 8:30 PM (ET)
Network: ESPN
Week 4 of the NFL season is ready to wrap up tonight with Monday Night Football, and this meeting has the makings of a good one on paper. The matchup features the Miami Dolphins heading into New Orleans to take on the Saints. Not only are both teams undefeated, but they also have a ton to prove to the world early in the season.
For the Dolphins, this could really be a statement game against a very good Saints team on the road. A potential win could also mean a lot to Miami in their division race to keep pace with the Patriots, who reached 4-0 last night. For the Saints, this is just another game on their revenge tour against the NFL, as they look to conquer anyone in their way. New Orleans heads into tonight’s big game with high hopes of moving their record to a strong 4-0; which cold then put a stranglehold on the NFC South. The key to their attack as always will be Drew Brees and that offense.

UPDATE: Saints defeat the Dolphins 38-17!
For Miami, this game will come down to Ryan Tannehill controlling the offensive tempo and limiting mistakes. If he can handle that task, mixed with a strong running game, they’ll have a legitimate shot of winning this crucial game. The real test will be how he reacts to the rowdy crowd in New Orleans if things begin to go south.
Most of all, we’re just happy that MNF finally has an exciting game on deck!
