The Arizona Cardinals head to Florida to take on the Miami Dolphins

For the first time in 12 years, the Arizona Cardinals are headed to Miami to face the Dolphins.  The last two meetings between the two teams have been in Glendale.  The Cardinals won the last meeting in September of 2012, 24-21 in overtime.

What: Arizona Cardinals vs Miami Dolphins

Where: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, Florida

When: 11:00 a.m. Sunday December 11th

TV: FOX 10 (Chris Myers, Ronde Barber)

Radio: Arizona Sports 98.7 (Dave Pasch, Ron Wolfley), SiriusXM 385 (Internet 800) – Cardinals feed; SiriusXM 231 (Internet 817) – Dolphins feed

The Cardinals are coming off a 31-23 victory over the Washington Redskins.  The Dolphins were whipped 38-6 at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday.

Both teams are still trying to position themselves for the playoffs, although a loss by the Cardinals (5-6-1) will end that mission.  The Dolphins (7-5) can lose and still be in the mix in the AFC but they make things very difficult on themselves by doing so.

The weather forecast in Miami on Sunday calls for a high of 77.  It also calls for a 70 percent chance of rain.  I know, shocking. Let’s hope at least the weather holds off for this one.

The Cardinals are 1-2 against the AFC East so far this season.  The Dolphins are 2-1 against the NFC West so far in 2016.
