The Dolphins will get an early season game on what’s considered the league’s marquee prime-time showcase.
According to Pro Football Network and The Score, the Dolphins’ Week 2 game at New England will air on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.”
The Dolphins had only three appearances in NBC’s first 17 years as the Sunday night rights-holder, entering last season.
The Week 2 game at New England will mark the Dolphins’ third NBC Sunday night game in less than a year, following NBC appearances against Pittsburgh and the Los Angeles Chargers last season.
The dates of three Dolphins games have now been reported: the Week 2 Patriots game on Sept. 20, a Nov. 5 game against Kansas City in Germany on NFL Network, and a 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 26 game at the Jets, on the day after Thanksgiving. The Germany and Black Friday games have been announced; the Week 2 game has not been announced.
