Philadelphia Eagles will look to bounce back from their first loss of the season when they face the high-powered Miami Dolphins in Week 7’s Sunday Night Football marquee matchup at Lincoln Financial Field, with the winner set to keep the best record in the NFL.
The Dolphins started in a sluggish manner last Sunday but came away with a comprehensive 42-21 Week 6 victory over the Carolina Panthers. The win moved Miami to 5-1 on the season, keeping them firmly in first place in the AFC East and tying them for the best record in the AFC with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Meanwhile, the 5-1 Eagles are coming into this blockbuster encounter off the back of their first loss of the season, having dropped a 20-14 stunner to the New York Jets. They led 14-3 in the second quarter before giving up 17 unanswered points in an unprecedented defensive collapse.

Philadelphia Eagles team news
Philadelphia's defense will face arguably their biggest challenge of the season Sunday night when Dolphins' star-studded offense come to town.
The health of the Eagles defense is crucial for this one with injuries mounting. Nick Sirianni's side have already shuffled through a raft of defensive backs following the season-ending injuries of cornerbacks Avonte Maddox and Zech McPhearson.
Darius Slay (knee) and Jalen Carter (ankle) were limited to individual training in Wednesday's practice, and are questionable for the Miami clash, while star right tackle Lane Johnson hobbled off the field in the Eagles' stunning 20-14 loss to the New York Jets last Sunday with a suspected ankle injury.
