5 Things I Think I Think About the Miami Dolphins After Week 8

The Miami Dolphins sit 1‑6 after Week 8, ranking second‑lowest in points league‑wide, but show flashes of promise. A strong first half against the Patriots—highlighted by a 70‑yard drive and a Malik Washington TD—collapsed after costly rookie mistakes, including multiple sacks on Malik Willis and miscommunications that led to missed opportunities. Willis is improving, posting 211 passing yards, two TDs and a deflected interception while learning to protect the ball. Guard Kadyn Proctor’s absence hurt the run game, underscoring his emerging importance. Despite the struggles, the team’s youth—players like Patrick Paul, Caleb Douglas, and Kevin Coleman—suggests the rebuild is gaining traction.

Troubling Cam Skattebo News Emerges Before Giants Game

Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo, the 2025 fourth‑round pick who’s already posted 418 yards and two TDs in seven games, is listed as doubtful for Week 9 versus the Philadelphia Eagles due to a hamstring injury. The 24‑year‑old recovered from a dislocated ankle last season and flashed his talent with a 124‑yard, one‑TD performance in the Giants’ 27‑21 overtime win over Houston. New York sits atop the NFC East at 4‑2‑1, making Skattebo’s availability a key factor as the team eyes its first division title this season.

Alijah Martin cooks as short-handed Raptors handle the Bucks

Despite missing Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and Kawhi Leonard, the Toronto Raptors pull off a gritty road win in Milwaukee. After a sluggish first quarter (24 points, 9‑for‑28 shooting) and a rebounding surge by the Bucks, Alijah Martin ignites the offense with a dunk and 11 points in seven minutes, aided by Jamal Shead’s playmaking (career‑high 16 assists). RJ Barrett heats up in the second quarter, while Jakob Poeltl transforms a quiet start into a dominant fourth‑quarter finish (19 points, 11 rebounds). The Raptors’ resilience and the bench’s timely contributions secure the victory against a struggling Bucks squad.

Transfer Spotlight: Fenerbahçe Left-Back Archie Brown

English left‑back Archie Brown, 24, has become a top winter‑window target after a breakthrough Champions League run – three goal contributions in four games for Fenerbahçe. Signed from Gent for €8 million in July 2025, he has logged 54 appearances with 8 goals and 9 assists, and is valued at €18 million (Fenerbahçe demanding at least €30 million). AC Milan, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and several other clubs are scouting him, while a rejected €16 million bid from Nottingham Forest highlights the Turkish club’s firm stance.

Cowboys key matchup: Quinnen Williams vs the Colts interior OL

The Dallas Cowboys face a must‑win, week‑nine clash with the Indianapolis Colts on November 7, 2026. With the Colts effectively tanking the season after trading DeForest Buckner and Quenton Nelson and swirling Jonathan Taylor trade rumors, their interior offensive line is vulnerable. Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, who has posted four sacks, three run stops and 14 tackles since week five, now battles rookie guard Jalen Farmer, center Tanor Bortolini and right guard Matt Goncalves—players who have allowed multiple pressures this year. If Williams can capitalize, aided by teammates Kenny Clark and Otito Ogbonnia, the Cowboys could secure a crucial victory.
