The biggest question mark on offense is undeniably the offensive line. Miami has struggled with pass protection and run blocking which is the only two options on offense.

The Dolphins will be starting Anthony Steen at center and rookie Laremy Tunsil at guard barring an injury setback. Tunsil was listed as questionable earlier in the week. Jermon Bushrod will line up on the right side next to Ja’Wuan James at tackle.

Miami has four first round draft picks on their offensive line but will be minus Mike Pouncey due to a hip injury. How well this unit plays will be the deciding factor in how Miami advances in this game. The Seahawks defense is one of the best in the NFL so it will be a tough game for the front men on offense.
