Veteran Falcons QB Primed to Outshine Dolphins in Backup Duel
25 Oct
Summary
- Falcons to face Dolphins' backup QB with 159 career starts
- Dolphins missing key players Tyreek Hill and Darren Waller
- Bijan Robinson expected to have a big day against Dolphins' weak run defense
As of October 26th, 2025, the Miami Dolphins are preparing to travel to Atlanta to face the Falcons, but they will be up against a seasoned backup quarterback. While the Falcons' starting QB is sidelined, they will be relying on Kirk Cousins, who has an impressive 159 career starts and four Pro Bowl selections under his belt.
Despite the Falcons' backup status, the Dolphins are not the experts' pick to pull off an upset. The team has struggled to find their groove on offense, having lost star players Tyreek Hill and Darren Waller to injured reserve. Additionally, the Dolphins' run defense has been abysmal and is expected to face a tough test against the Falcons' promising rookie running back, Bijan Robinson.
Across various media outlets, including USA Today, NFL.com, ESPN, and CBS Sports, the consensus among pundits is that the Falcons will emerge victorious in this Week 8 matchup. With the Dolphins facing an uphill battle, the stage is set for the veteran Cousins to lead the Falcons to a convincing win over their struggling opponents.
