What TV channel is Dolphins-Chargers on today? Live stream, how to watch online, time
The Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Chargers meet to open the 2023 NFL season on Sunday, Sept. 10. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and Paramount+ (free trial).
Kellen Moore and Vic Fangio were two of the most prominent coordinators hired during the offseason. It also happens that they get to face each other in Week 1.
The first test for Moore’s Los Angeles Chargers offense will come at home on Sunday against Fangio’s Miami Dolphins defense in a matchup of playoff teams from last season.
The Chargers spent most of the offseason getting acquainted with Fangio’s system when he was Denver’s head coach from 2019-21, while the Dolphins watched video of Dallas’ offense to figure out how that will translate to Justin Herbert and company.
Chargers coach Brandon Staley came into the NFL in 2017 when he was hired as an assistant in Chicago when Fangio was the defensive coordinator. Staley spent three seasons with Fangio — two with the Bears and 2019 with Denver.
Staley, who is in his third season leading Los Angeles, has a defensive scheme similar to Fangio’s, including zone coverage and limited blitzes.
Many hope Moore will open up a Chargers offense that relied on the short passing game under Joe Lombardi the past two seasons. Herbert is going into his fourth season but has his third offensive coordinator.
The Dolphins had the league’s sixth-worst pass defense last season, which was one of the reasons why Josh Boyer wasn’t retained after three seasons.
