The Miami Dolphins’ 2020 season has come to a close. And while the new season is as far away as it will ever be this morning, we still know plenty about what the 2021 season will look like for Miami. Primarily, we know what the opponents will look like. Here’s what we know about the 2021 Miami Dolphins schedule:
Home Games
vs. Carolina Panthers
vs. Atlanta Falcons
vs. Buffalo Bills
vs. New England Patriots
vs. New York Jets
vs. Baltimore Ravens
vs. Indianapolis Colts
vs. Houston Texans
Miami’s home slate is a favorable one, with the exception of those darn Bills and Ravens being on the schedule at all. Miami hasn’t had favorable history against either team as of late, but Miami’s young roster will have enough pieces around to remember the shellackings given out by Baltimore (2019) and Buffalo (2020) and hopefully use those games as “get up” opportunities.
Away Games
at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
at New Orleans Saints
at Buffalo Bills
at New England Patriots
at New York Jets
at Jacksonville Jaguars
at Tennessee Titans
at Las Vegas Raiders
A return trip to Las Vegas? Two clashes with NFC heavyweights on the road? Add in a road trip to visit former Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill and Miami will have quite the road schedule awaiting them in 2021. Thankfully, Miami may avoid future Hall of Fame QB Drew Brees next year and there are winnable games aplenty — and that’s before Miami re-tools their roster this offseason.
To Be Determined
- New York Giants?
The NFL’s 17th game appears poised to make its debut in 2021. The expectation is that the league will have tams playing a corresponding NFC finisher from the same division ranking as the Dolphins — so Miami will take on a second-place finisher. Expectations have Miami due to play the 2nd-place New York Giants; who finish the season this year at 6-10.
