Malik Willis and the 0-3 Dolphins aren’t panicking ahead of their matchup with the unbeaten Vikings

Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis maintains a calm demeanor despite his team's 0-3 record heading into their matchup against the undefeated Minnesota Vikings. Willis emphasized that they are not the only team in a similar position and highlighted the Vikings' status as one of three consecutive undefeated opponents. Coach Jeff Hafley emphasized the importance of the upcoming game, acknowledging that facing strong competitors is both challenging and exciting for the team.

Willis, who made his ninth career start against the Chiefs, showed improvement in decision-making, completing 57% of his passes for 627 yards, a touchdown, two interceptions, and a lost fumble. The Dolphins will likely rely more on Willis' legs due to the absence of Pro Bowl running back De'Von Achane, who suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season.

Running backs Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon will split time at the position, with Hafley considering adding practice squad players Jarquez Hunter and Carlos Washington Jr. to the active roster as a third option.
