That day, the Dolphins beat the Raiders on the road for the first time in 10 tries with a 24-14 victory. The Dolphins broke a scoreless tie by outscoring the Raiders 24-0 in the second quarter, thanks in part to safety Liffort Hobley’s 19-yard fumble return.

SCOUTING REPORT

RAIDERS’ RECORD: 0-3
LAST GAME: Lost at New England, 16-9
OVERVIEW: The Raiders are trying to get the franchise going in the right direction after back-to-back 4-12 seasons, but they look like they could be headed for another difficult campaign. Oakland brought in several big-name veterans in the offseason, but they’re going with a rookie at the most important position with second-round pick Derek Carr starting at quarterback.

Week 6
MIAMI DOLPHINS (2-2) vs. GREEN BAY PACKERS (3-2)

GAME FACTS

DATE: Sunday, Oct. 12, 2014
TIME: 1 p.m. ET
SITE: Sun Life Stadium
TV: FOX
TV ANNOUNCERS: Sam Rosen, play-by-play; John Lynch, color analyst
DOLPHINS RADIO NETWORK: Clear Channel, WBGG (105.9 FM) and WINZ (940 AM) and a network of affiliates throughout Florida; WQBA (1140 AM-Spanish)
RADIO VOICES: English broadcast — Jimmy Cefalo, Bob Griese, Joe Rose, Keith Sims; Spanish broadcast — Raul Striker Jr., Roly Martin

THE SERIES

SERIES RECORD: Miami leads 10-3
AT MIAMI: Dolphins lead 6-1
AT GREEN BAY: Dolphins lead 3-2
AT MILWAUKEE: Dolphins lead 1-0
LAST MEETING: 2010 at Green Bay; Dolphins 23, Packers 20 (OT)
HISTORY LESSON: The Dolphins beat the Packers at Sun Life Stadium on Sept. 22, 1991, and the significance of that game was that it marked the 300th career victory for Head Coach Don Shula. The Dolphins tied the game in the fourth quarter when nose tackle Chuck Klingbeil recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown and clinched the victory when cornerback Vestee Jackson recovered a fumble by quarterback Don Majkowski on the second play after the two-minute warning.
SERIES TREND: The Dolphins took the first eight games in the series before the Packers won 23-18 at Lambeau Field in 1997. The teams have split the last four meetings, but only two of the last six games were decided by less than eight points.

SCOUTING REPORT

PACKERS’ RECORD: 3-2
LAST GAME: Beat Minnesota, 42-10
OVERVIEW: The Packers got off to a slow start this season, scoring only 23 points while losing against the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions in the first three weeks. That set up a mini-panic in Green Bay, which prompted quarterback Aaron Rodgers to tell Packers fans to just relax. Rodgers then led Green Bay to convincing victories against the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings, in the process re-establishing the Packers as a Super Bowl contender.
KEY NEW FACES: S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix (draft-1st round), WR Davante Adams (draft-2nd), LB Julius Peppers (Chicago), DT Letroy Guion (Minnesota)
KEY VETERANS GONE: TE Jermichael Finley, OL Evan Dietrich-Smith, DT B.J. Raji (injured reserve), WR James Jones, QB Seneca Wallace, DE Jerel Worthy

Final Inactive List

Green Bay:
Sam Barrington, linebacker
Jarrett Boykin, wide receiver
Carl Bradford, linebacker
Garth Gerhart, center
Demetri Goodson, cornerback
Datone Jones, defensive end
Scott Tolzien, quarterback

Miami:
Deandre Coleman, defensive tackle
Brandon Gibson, wide receiver
Harold Hoskins, tight end
Jason Fox, tackle
Shelley Smith, guard
Daniel Thomas, running back
Billy Turner, guard

**Another key note: Mike Pouncey will be back today but will be starting at Right Guard

Week 7
MIAMI DOLPHINS (2-3) at CHICAGO BEARS (3-3)

GAME FACTS

DATE: Sunday, Oct. 19, 2014
TIME: 1 p.m. ET
SITE: Soldier Field
TV: CBS
TV ANNOUNCERS: Greg Gumbel, play-by-play; Trent Green, color analyst; Evan Washburn, sideline reporter
DOLPHINS RADIO NETWORK: Clear Channel, WBGG (105.9 FM) and WINZ (940 AM) and a network of affiliates throughout Florida; WQBA (1140 AM-Spanish)
RADIO VOICES: English broadcast — Jimmy Cefalo, Bob Griese, Joe Rose, Kim Bokamper; Spanish broadcast — Raul Striker Jr., Roly Martin

THE SERIES

SERIES RECORD: Miami leads 7-4
AT MIAMI: Dolphins lead 4-3
AT CHICAGO: Dolphins lead 3-1
LAST MEETING: 2010 at Miami; Bears 16, Dolphins 0
HISTORY LESSON: The last time the Dolphins played in Chicago, they were struggling with a 1-6 record and coming off their bye to face a Bears team that had gotten off to a 7-0 start and ultimately would end up playing in the Super Bowl that season. On that day, though, it was all Dolphins as they stunned the Bears, 31-13. Highlights on the day for the Dolphins included Joey Harrington passing for three touchdowns, Ronnie Brown rushing for 157 yards, and Jason Taylor returning an interception for a touchdown.
SERIES TREND: The thing that stands out about the Dolphins-Bears series is the lack of close games. Of the teams’ 11 meetings, only three were decided by less than 14 points. The last three, for example, saw Dolphins victories by scores of 27-9 and 31-13 before the Bears’ 16-0 victory in 2010.

SCOUTING REPORT

BEARS’ RECORD: 3-3
LAST GAME: Won at Atlanta, 27-13
OVERVIEW: The Bears’ season so far has been a roller coaster, one with little logic behind it. After losing its opener at home against the Buffalo Bills, Chicago rebounded by beating the San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets on the road in prime-time games. That was followed by losses against Green Bay at home and at Carolina, before the Bears’ dominating performance at the Georgia Dome last Sunday. The Bears have playmakers everywhere on offense, but consistency has been an issue on both sides of the ball.
KEY NEW FACES: CB Kyle Fuller (draft-1st round), DT Ego Ferguson (draft-2nd), DE Willie Young (Detroit), DE Lamarr Houston (Oakland), DE Jared Allen (Minnesota), C Brian de la Puente (New Orleans), LB Darryl Sharpton (Washington), WR Josh Morgan (Washington), WR Santonio Holmes (N.Y. Jets), QB Jimmy Clausen (Carolina)
KEY VETERANS GONE: RB Michael Bush, TE Dante Rosario, DE Julius Peppers, WR Devin Hester, DT Henry Melton, QB Josh McCown, WR Earl Bennett, CB Charles Tillman (injured reserve)
