Ahead of the New England Patriots‘ matchup with the Detroit Lions last week, there was buzz that quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) might make his return after his Week 3 injury. Instead, the start went to Bailey Zappe, who completed 80 percent of his passes for 188 yards with a touchdown in a 29-0 Patriots victory.

The Dolphins are an unpredictable team to deal with on either side of this matchup with their quarterback situation up in the air. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has no timetable for his return, and Teddy Bridgewater is in the concussion protocol following his early exit last Sunday against the Jets.
