It's Week 2 of the 2023 NFL season and this week's Sunday Night Football brings us an AFC East clash between the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins.

Both teams are hopeful of reaching the playoffs this season which should make for an entertaining divisional clash. 

Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill had 11 receptions for 215 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1. His 215 receiving yards are the third-most in a season-opening game in NFL history. It was also Hill’s 10th career game with at least 10 receptions and 150 receiving yards.

The Sporting News takes a look at the matchup and explains how you can watch in the UK.
