The Atlanta Falcons failed to show up in Week 8, allowing the Miami Dolphins to secure just their second win of the season. It was supposed to be a game for the Falcons to get back on track at home, but instead they were blown out, 34-10, by the Dolphins in front of a frustrated Mercedes-Benz Stadium crowd.

The Ravens started the season 1-5, and since the first NFL postseason in 1933, only four of 358 teams -- which amounts to 1.1% -- made the playoffs after starting 1-5 or worse, according to ESPN Research. But the Ravens are hopeful the return of Jackson and a wide-open AFC North will help them become the fifth team to achieve the feat.

Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said the tough decisions on whether to trade a player can be avoided "by winning football games."

The Atlanta Falcons will look to secure their fourth win of the season when they host the Miami Dolphins at home on Sunday afternoon. While the Dolphins are just 1-6, the Falcons won't have starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. under center. Penix has a bone bruise on his knee and is expected to miss today's game.

The Falcons had the chance to make a statement, and they made a statement. It just wasn’t the one we expected or wanted. That means the highlights are limited, but I did my best. Dee Alford sack forces a three-and-out The Miami Dolphins got absolutely nothing going on their first drive.

Lamar Jackson is back to looking like Lamar Jackson, and the Ravens are back to looking like the Ravens. In his first action since missing a month with a hamstring injury, Jackson threw four touchdown passes in leading Baltimore to a dominant 28-6 victory over the Dolphins in South Florida.

Defensive tackle Mike Hall (knee) and right tackle Jack Conklin (concussion) were among the Browns' five inactive players for the game against the Miami Dolphins. They were two of three who were on there due to injuries, along with tight end David Njoku, who had been ruled out two days earlier with a knee injury.

It was another poor performance for Miami as Baltimore and Lamar Jackson drubbed the Dolphins in a Week 9 "Thursday Night Football" win.

The Baltimore Ravens (2-5) will seek their second straight victory, traveling for a Thursday night matchup against the Miami Dolphins (2-6).
