The Jacksonville Jaguars are set to face off against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2. Coming off a loss in the season opener to the Carolina Panthers, the Jaguars are hoping to right their wrongs from Week 1 and pull off an upset against the team's interstate rival.
The Dolphins are coming off a victory against the lowly Washington Redskins and are looking to keep their momentum going. The expectations are high for Miami after the team acquired defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and wide receiver DeVante Parker in the offseason. This is also quarterback Ryan Tannehill's second season in offensive coordinator Bill Lazor's offense.
The two squads may share the same state but their rivalry will divide fans on Sunday. The Jaguars will look to run the ball with consistency against a stout defensive line featuring Suh, Cameron Wake and Olivier Vernon. On defense, the defensive backs will stay busy with the Dolphins speedy receivers.
