The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Miami Dolphins will face off at the Sun Life Stadium on Thursday night in Week 4 of the NFL 2015 preseason. It's the final preseason warm up game before the regular season kicks off in just a few weeks time, and both teams will be looking to finalize their preparations for the new season. Today's game has a scheduled start time of 7 p.m. ET and can be watched online through live stream via the link below.
The final preseason game between the Dolphins and Buccaneers has become somewhat of a tradition now, but don't expect today's game to mean too much when it comes to how they will do when the regular season commences as neither side is likely to feature many starters.
However, that doesn't mean that today's game is meaningless, as both teams will likely feature many fringe players who will be hoping to impress to clamp down their spots on the roster as first backups.
Tampa Bay for example will be looking to decide who will make the roster as the main backup interior lineman out of Garrett Gilkey, Jeremiah Warren Patrick Omameh and Kadeem Edwards.
Week 3 was probably a more accurate assessment of where each team lies in their preparations for the new season, as most teams played a majority of their starters for half a game or more last week.
In Week 3, the New England Patriots managed to claim a 17-16 win over the Carolina Panthers, and they also received some good news this week with a court overruling the four game ban on quarterback Tom Brady.
In other games on Friday the Kansas City Chiefs continued to look impressive in their preseason warm-ups. The Chiefs claimed a very convincing 34-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans, and their preseason form will give them hope that they can make a significant impact in the new season.
Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions looked far from their best, but still saw off a Jacksonville Jaguars team that looks like it is on the way up, but still a few seasons away from being able to seriously compete for postseason spots. The Lions came away from Jacksonville with a 22-17 victory.
On Saturday last week, the Buffalo Bills stormed to a massive 43-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the New York Jets were able to claim a 28-18 win over city rivals, the New York Giants.
In a low scoring game the Miami Dolphins claimed a 13-9 win over the Atlanta Falcons, and the Minnesota Vikings gained a win over the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 28-14.
The Cleveland Browns looked good in their Week 3 outing, defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-7, where as the Washington Redskins also piled on the points in a 31-13 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
The Chicago Bears were unable to hold their own against the Cincinnati Bengals, losing 21-10, where as the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers played out the highest scoring game of Week 3, with the Eagles coming out on top 39-26.
The Indianapolis Colts defeated the St Louis Rams 24-10, where as the Seattle Seahawks claimed a tight win 16-15 victory over the San Diego Chargers, and the Denver Broncos gained a 19-12 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
