What to know
The Las Vegas Raiders are tasked with breaking their five-game losing streak, which tied for longest active losing streak in the league. They'll be fresh off their bye week with proper rest and recovery, while the Miami Dolphins are on a short week following their game on Monday Night Football.
Since the Raiders last took the field against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9, they've relieved their offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and offensive line coach of their duties. Several assistants coaches on staff have been elevated to those positions, including Scott Turner to interim offensive coordinator and former Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin to interim offensive line coach.
Head coach Antonio Pierce stated during the bye week that the team will "look at everything" regarding the quarterback position. Gardner Minshew II was benched for Desmond Ridder in the second half against the Bengals, with the latter going 11-of-16 for 74 yards and a touchdown pass to Brock Bowers.
The Miami Dolphins are coming off a tough-fought victory against the Los Angeles Rams on the road. It was the Dolphins first victory since Week 5. The return of quarterback Tua Tagovalioa (concussion) has amplified the offense, averaging 25.6 points and nearly 330 total yards over their last three games. His leading receiver, Tyreek Hill, led the league in receiving yards (1,799) and tied with Mike Evans for league-lead in receiving touchdowns (13) in 2023.

Milestones to watch
