The bad news for the Miami Dolphins in Week 3 is that the team is on the road for a short week of Thursday Night Football. The good news for the Miami Dolphins in Week 3? The travel is about as short as it could possibly be for the NFL’s most southeastern team — Miami travels just a short stretch up the coast to play the Jacksonville Jaguars. Given Miami’s exposure to the elements, the Dolphins will have no disadvantages in the Florida heat either — but will the weather cooperate for a clean game of football to be played in Week 3?
Here is the current forecast for Miami’s Week 3 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars
Location: TIAA Bank Field — Jacksonville, Florida
-
Temperature at kickoff: 78 degrees
- Feels like: 82 degrees
- Percent rain: 5%
- Humidity: 73%
- Wind: 10 mph
If things get wild and crazy in Week 3, we won’t be able to blame the weather for any of the insanity. You couldn’t ask for a better night for some football, and so the Dolphins must execute and make sure they’re more airtight on defense than they’ve shown through the first two weeks of the season. The Dolphins should be entering into Week 3 desperate for a win and knowing that the elements aren’t going to throw this team any curveballs that could throw focus and attention to detail out the window offers Miami some simple peace of mind. Thursday night will be all about the Dolphins and whether or not they execute. If they do, they can gather that first win of the season. If not? Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
