The Miami Dolphins, currently 0-3, will visit the 3-0 Minnesota Vikings for Week 4 of the NFL season on Sunday. Miami will encounter former head coach Brian Flores, now the defensive coordinator for Minnesota, and linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel, who previously played for the Dolphins. Flores has led the Vikings' defense to the most sacks (14) in the league and a top-three ranking in scoring and third-down defense. Miami, in contrast, has yet to register a sack this season and ranks last in blitzes. Both Flores and Van Ginkel will look to capitalize on their experience against their old team as they prepare for the matchup.
