Two sides in vastly different positions in the AFC standings will lock horns in Sunday's early window.
The Dolphins host the Bengals in Week 5. The prizefighters have hardly been equals at this point in the NFL calendar — Miami is winless, while Cincinnati is 2-2.
Even in friendly confines, it will prove a tall task for the Fins to down their AFC North-based competition. De'Von Achane's season-ending injury leaves Miami with precious little attacking talent. The Bengals will be hoping to take advantage of their foe's hardships in Week 5.
