The Miami Dolphins will conclude their preseason on Friday, August 23, at 7:30 p.m. when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Southwest Florida.
Fans can expect complete coverage, including pregame and postgame analysis.
The Dolphins started their preseason with a win against the Atlanta Falcons, although key players like quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Tyreek Hill did not play. Miami’s first-round draft pick, edge rusher Chop Robinson, was also absent from the game.
In their next outing, Tagovailoa executed a flawless performance, completing all five of his passes for a touchdown in just one series, which led to a 13-6 victory over the Washington Commanders. This marked his first game since agreeing to a four-year, $212 million contract extension. He threw for 51 yards, finishing an impressive 61-yard drive with a 13-yard touchdown pass to River Cracraft on a critical fourth-and-1 play. For the second week in a row, the Dolphins secured victory with a defensive stand on downs inside their 10-yard line in the final moments of the game.
The team has set its sights on improving upon its previous 11-6 record, aiming to clinch a playoff berth for the third consecutive year and end a 15-year drought for the AFC East title.
CBS Miami’s Steve Goldstein will serve as the play-by-play commentator, with color analyst Kim Bokamper joining him. Mike Cugno will provide sideline reports and conduct interviews throughout the game.
