The Commanders and Dolphins game is the NFL’s seventh international game of the season.
This will be the Dolphins’ eighth international game in franchise history, as only the Jacksonville Jaguars have played more games overseas. However, the Dolphins have not fared well overseas as they have a 2-5 record overseas.
The Dolphins are 3-7 this season but are coming off their biggest win of the season, a 30-13 blowout over the Buffalo Bills. Running back De’Von Achane had a monster day in the win, rushing 22 times for 174 yards and two touchdowns, along with six catches for 51 yards.

Tua Tagovailoa completed 15 of 21 passes for 173 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, while wide receiver Jaylen Waddle had five catches for 84 yards and a touchdown.
The Commanders have only played one game overseas in franchise history. They played the Cincinnati Bengals in 2016 and it ended in a tie – the only result in international play.

The Commanders are on a roll as they have lost five straight and are without starting quarterback Jayden Daniels with an elbow injury. Their most recent loss was to the Detroit Lions, 44-22, with Marcus Mariota at the helm.
Head coach Dan Quinn announced earlier this week that he would take over defensive play-calling duties from defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr as they look to turn things around.
