1. Saints vs. Dolphins in the Superdome
The Superdome, where Sunday’s game will take place, is one of the most iconic sports stadiums ever constructed. Built in 1967 to show off New Orleans’ vibrant culture and to serve as an attraction for tourists seeking sports and entertainment events, civic leaders hoped that NFL franchises might expand into New Orleans without such facilities; but Commissioner Pete Rozelle assured them otherwise.
On October 2, 1983 at the Dome, Saints and Dolphins first faced each other and Saints won 17-7. Ken Stabler completed 12 of 18 passes for 124 yards and one touchdown; rookie running back Rueben Mayes made headlines by running for 199 rushing yards! However, Miami’s defense made the difference as rookie Dan Marino came on in relief of starter David Woodley to throw 150 yards and one touchdown on 12 of 22 passing attempts – going 1-2 against Saints during his Hall-of-Fame career!
After their disastrous 2005 season, the New Orleans Saints rebuilt with unproven head coach Sean Payton and an undersized roster in need of talent. Brees was among the most desirable free agents available; unfortunately for Miami Dolphins’ management they could not offer him an acceptable contract and let Brees join his former team instead – so instead traded Daunte Culpepper from Minnesota as compensation before releasing Brees to New Orleans Saints.
Since that meeting between these teams in 2015, several notable players have switched teams – most notably wide receiver Kenny Stills to Miami in 2015 for a third round pick and linebacker Dannell Ellerbe – with Stills becoming an elite receiver with his two seasons spent there, amassing 95 catches for 1,572 yards over that time period.

In the second quarter, Miami Dolphins defense continued its dominance, forcing three consecutive Saints three-and-outs with linebacker Chop Robinson and defensive tackle Zeek Biggers teaming up for an effective drive-ending sack to extend Miami’s lead to 20-0 before Riley Patterson kicked another field goal to cap off their victory on their inaugural road game of 2021.

The Saints mounted an exciting second half comeback against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida but ultimately came up short in a 21-17 defeat on December 7th. Miami’s defense played an instrumental role, recording three sacks and four takeaways led by Minkah Fitzpatrick’s pick-two interception. Meanwhile De’Von Achane had an outstanding 1,000 yard rushing day as their offensive struggles allowed Miami to build up an 16-0 advantage early.
New Orleans bounced back quickly from an early deficit by mounting a 10-play, 65-yard touchdown drive led by quarterback Tyler Shough’s 17-yard pass to wide receiver Chris Olave; however, Dolphins defense held off any two-point conversion attempts by New Orleans.
In the fourth quarter, New Orleans attempted a comeback through kicker Nick Novak’s 56-yard field goal and Devaughn Vele’s late touchdown reception; however, any chance at victory vanished when Shough was stopped on fourth and 1 quarterback sneak.
Defense was key in helping the Dolphins achieve victory, with Jordyn Brooks notching 12 tackles (four solo) and one sack, Zeek Biggers recording two sacks each, Bradley Chubb recording one as well. Also contributing was Fitzpatrick who made seven stops, forced fumbled once, and picked off a passer – moving them from 5-7 to 6-9.
4. Saints vs. Dolphins in Miami Gardens
New Orleans scored quickly in the first quarter as Alvin Kamara quickly completed a 10-play drive and scored his second rushing TD of the game. However, the Dolphins responded with their own 13-play, 62-yard scoring drive led by quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick who connected with wide receiver Brian Hartline on a 15-yard touchdown pass. Miami’s defense remained effective during the second quarter, forcing three-and-outs on every drive and recording two sacks from Zach Sieler while linebacker Chop Robinson completed a drive-ending fumble recovery. Kicker Riley Patterson extended the Dolphins’ advantage early in the third quarter with a 39-yard field goal from kicker Riley Patterson, but at 16-7 the Saints retook control via an 80-yard scoring drive capped off by running back Jaylen Waddle’s 1-yard run.

The Dolphins have found success at home this season, winning two straight after an initial bumpy start. Now they face a Saints team which has dropped three consecutive games by double-digit margins; Tua Tagovailoa had an outstanding performance against one of the toughest defenses in league, so I expect Miami to take this one and cover its -5.5 point spread with ease.
