MIKE WILLIAMS, WOW!

An incredible, acrobatic catch from the Chargers WR has his team in the redzone!

The Dolphins stop the Chargers offense on 3rd and 10 but a holding penalty on Miami gives LA a new set of downs.

Three-and-out for the Dolphins on the opening possession.

A brilliant start for the Chargers.

We are underway at the SoFi Stadium!

Dolphins receive the opening kickoff.

Fans can watch the game live on NBC Sports. The game can also be streamed on the NFL Gamepass app.

The game will kickoff at 8:20 PM EST at the SoFi Stadium.

The Chargers have lost three of their last four games and are currently outside the playoff picture. A Chargers loss tonight will confirm another division title for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs and future dampen LA's playoff hopes. It's a must-win game for the Chargers.

The Dolphins are coming into this game on a back of a disappointing loss to the 49ers last week, which snapped their five-game winning streak and relegated them to second in the AFC East standings. They will want to brush off that loss as a one-off and get back to winning ways tonight.

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's LIVE coverage of the Sunday Night Football game between the Dolphins and the Chargers!
