Heading into today's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, here are several things to watch for, including player information and potential accomplishments. All of this information is courtesy of the Miami Dolphins Public Relations Department and comes from their weekly game release publication for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

A win against the Jacksonville Jaguars would...

Finding success in the running game
The Dolphins currently average 4.81 yards-per-carry through the first six games of the season, which would be the fourth-highest average in franchise history. The franchise record is 5.0 yards per-carry set in 1971. 

Blocking their third punt of the season would establish a new record
If Miami blocks a punt against the Jaguars, it would be their third this season, which would establish a new record for most blocked punts in a season. Miami currently has two blocked punts, which was also accomplished in 1972, 1973, 1974, 1978, 1991, 1996 and 2011.
