Quarterback Edge

A few weeks ago, we might say that Miami had the edge when it came to QBs. But, as noted, Tannehill has seen his numbers drop and Chicago signal-caller Mitchell Trubisky has been finding his way. Tannehill ‘s top receiver, Kenny Stills, has three TD catches in his first three games. In his last two contests, Stills has not had a TD grab.

Of his eight TD passes, Trubisky tossed six last week against Tampa Bay. He’s been completing 71% of his passes. Trubisky has thrown three INTs. His eight TD passes have been to four different receivers. At this point, Trubisky is the hotter of the two by a mile.

Edge: Trubisky

Key Players

On defense for Chicago Mack is an essential part of the defense. Also on defense, Trevathan is the power generator for the Bears.On offense, Fin’s running back Frank Gore is averaging 4.3 YPA. If he can move the ball, that may take some pressure off of Tannehill. That may give him a bit more time to find his receiver.

One player to watch on defense for Miami is LB Kiko Alonson. Alonson has made 50 tackles, two INTs, and two FF. If he can have a solid game, the Dolphins will have a chance to succeed. Also on defense, Davon Godchaux, who has four TFL, could influence the outcome of this contest.
