Miami Dolphins

The wait is over, with the 2023 NFL regular season schedule finally unveiled Thursday night.

For the Miami Dolphins, that meant 15 games revealed after two national TV games were announced Wednesday, and the full schedule includes three prime-time games.

It's actually not a huge number considering the Dolphins' 2023 season and the number of high-profile players on the roster, such as Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, Xavien Howard, Jaylen Waddle, Jalen Ramsey and Bradley Chubb, among others.

The three prime-time games include Sunday night games at New England in Week 2 and at Philadelphia in Week 7, plus a Monday night home game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 14.

The schedule begins with consecutive road games, starting with a date against the L.A. Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 10 in a rematch between Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert, who will be facing off for the third time since both were 2020 first-round picks.

Tua and the Dolphins won the first matchup in Miami in 2020, while the Chargers won last season in a Sunday night game at SoFi Stadium.

The Dolphins start off with three road games in the first four weeks, but it's the opposite (actually, even better) at the end of the season, with four home games in the final five weeks, starting with the Monday night game against Tennessee.

The Dolphins will close out their regular season against the three-time AFC East champion Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium in Week 18, with the first matchup between the teams taking place in Week 4 (Sunday, Oct. 1) in Buffalo.
