Monday Night Football is home to a Week 4 doubleheader, starting with the New York Jets taking on the Dolphins and Miami, and rounding out the evening with the Cincinnati Bengals taking on the Denver Broncos in the Mile High City.
The Jets and Dolphins are looking for win No. 1 of the season to avoid a 0-4 start. Both teams are three games behind rival Buffalo already and need a win to stop this free fall.

After being without starting quarterback Justin Fields in Week 3 due to a concussion, he’ll make his return on Monday night. His return is great news for New York, which could use Fields’ versatility this week against a Dolphins defense that led the league in points allowed (97) and was one of three defenses that had yet to force a turnover entering Week 4.

Miami’s formerly explosive offense will need to find its way, as it ranks in the lower third of the league, having scored just 56 points in three games. Tua Tagovailoa has been inconsistent, averaging 191.7 pass yards per game through three weeks with five touchdowns and four interceptions despite throwing to a talented receiving corps of Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and running back De’Von Achane. After being outscored 56-97 through three weeks, Mike McDaniel’s seat continues to heat up.
Cincinnati finds itself trying to hang on without star quarterback Joe Burrow, who will miss extended time with a turf toe injury, as it continues to try to find a way to win with backup Jake Browning. Though receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are elite options in the passing game, he’s struggled with turnovers to this point, with five interceptions through two games.

Denver is searching for its second win of the season after dropping a divisional game to the Chargers in Week 3. The Broncos have lost the past two games to walk-off field goals by the Chargers and Colts. This could be an opportunity for Denver’s defense to make a statement by taking advantage of the Bengals’ propensity for turnovers with Browning under center.
