Game Preview New Orleans Saints @ Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins finally appear to be on track after a rough start, winning two straight games and returning from a bye week at 4-7. They’ll host the New Orleans Saints, who have lost six straight and sit at 2-9, on Sunday, November 30, at Hard Rock Stadium.
Tua Tagovailoa and De’Von Achane have led the Dolphins’ resurgence, while the Saints’ offense has sputtered. Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough has shown flashes but has struggled to finish drives, especially with Alvin Kamara potentially sidelined.

New Orleans Saints Outlook
The New Orleans Saints are in freefall. Their last win came in Week 3, and they’ve failed to score 20 points in six consecutive games. The offense, led by rookie Tyler Shough, has struggled in the red zone, ranking last in the NFL in touchdown conversion rate.
Injuries are also mounting. Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) is doubtful, and top receiver Chris Olave is limited. The Saints generated just 10 points against the Falcons last week, despite gaining more first downs and total yardage. Rookie kicker Blake Grupe was released after missing two of three field goals, further complicating matters.
If the Saints want to stay competitive, Shough must limit turnovers and improve on third downs, while the defense needs to create short fields.
Miami Dolphins Outlook
The Miami Dolphins seem to have turned the corner. Consecutive wins over the Buffalo Bills and Washington Commanders have restored confidence, particularly on defense. Miami allowed just 13 and 16 points in those games and enters Week 13 with momentum.
De’Von Achane continues to be a major difference-maker. He posted 174 total yards and two touchdowns against Buffalo. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is playing clean football, and the Dolphins are executing better in situational moments.
Miami’s defense forced two fumbles and held the Bills to 87 rushing yards. This group ranks top 10 in opponent scoring and has improved tackling and pressure rates.
