Monday Night Football sees the Dolphins (3-0) travel to New Orleans to face the (3-0) Saints.
Some believe that the much improved Dolphins can take the AFC East title ahead of the Patriots. Ryan Tannehill who has 827 passing yards to his name and 4 TD's will be looking to lead the line for the Dolphins third win on the road. The pocket will have to protect him much better as Tennehill has already been sacked 14 times in 3 games. RB Daniel Thomas and WR Brian Hartline will be both looking to add to their 2 TD's in week 4. The latter has already reached half of his best total of 4 TD's a rookie in 2009.
The jury is still out for many on the Dolphins and the defensive line will have to contend with Saints QB Drew Brees. DE Cameron Wake who has 2.5 sacks already this season is questionable with a knee injury. LB Dannell Ellerbe is also questionable with a rib injury, Ellerbe has 30 tackles to his name this season.
The Saints are sitting at the top of the NFC South going into this one. With home advantage they have to be seen as favourites. Drew Brees has 1021 passing yards this season and he will be looking to exploit an injury hit Dolphins defence at every opportunity. With 6 TD's already Brees will not want to add to his 4 interceptions. RB Pierre Thomas leads the Saints in rushing with 100 yards while TE Jimmy Graham leads the Saints with 358 receiving yards.
This has all the ingredients for a good game of football.

Dolphins - Defensive line, with Ellerbe and Wake questionable it is a matter of whether the Dolphins can inhibit Drew Brees.
Saints - Drew Brees, his talents are well known and can he can punish any defence.
