2021 Week 5 Primer: Dolphins vs Buccaneers - Stats, history, and more

The Miami Dolphins need to find a spark to turn around a rough start to the 2021 NFL season, and if it is going to come in Week 5, it is going to come against the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami’s old nemesis, quarterback Tom Brady. Can Miami overcome the odds to pull off the upset? Will Brady crush the Dolphins as he used to do with the New England Patriots?

The Dolphins have struggled to find any rhythm this year, especially on offense. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, starting his third straight game as Tua Tagovailoa recovers from broken ribs, has spent too much time checking down in the passing attack, not looking for the deep pass until it is too late in the game to make any real difference.
