Miami enters the contest seeking to improve a defensive unit that ranked 24th in points allowed during the 2025 season. New head coach Jeff Hafley prioritized defensive personnel in the draft, including the selection of cornerback Chris Johnson and linebacker Jacob Rodriguez. The team also acquired pass rusher Joshua Uche during free agency to help generate pressure. On the opposite sideline, the Raiders look to rebound after finishing last in league scoring last season.
