Thursday Night Football open thread: Dolphins at Ravens

Week 8 is here and the Detroit Lions are back to football. But before we get ready for their crucial “Sunday Night Football” game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, there are some other games to be had.

This week kicks off with an AFC battle between two teams struggling to keep pace with their division leader. The Dolphins (4-2) are in contention for a competitive AFC East division. Tied with the Bills, Miami is just a half game behind the New England Patriots. However, with Jay Cutler nursing some cracked ribs, they’ll likely have to rely on Matt Moore to lead them for the next week or two.

The Baltimore Ravens (3-4), on the other hand, are in danger of falling out of contention in their division. They’re a full two games behind the Steelers and have already dropped one of the head-to-head matches against Pittsburgh. Joe Flacco has looked anything but elite, throwing for just five touchdowns and eight interceptions on the year.

Can the Ravens bounce back on their home turf tonight? Or will the Dolphins continue to be a surprise contender in the AFC?

Here’s how to watch tonight’s game:
