In the latest Undisputed Live show, Michael Irvin stated that it will be difficult for the Eagles to beat the Dolphins. He said, “I’m just letting you guys know, taking the Dolphins because I do believe that this offense that the Dolphins have is going to be a little too much for the Philadelphia Eagles.

 

He continued, “I don’t think that Philly has enough on the backend to stop this team. And when you have an explosive team like Miami, this kind of explosive, it’s different. Most of the time, we talk about explosive; we’re talking about a team that can really get up the field, and most of the passes are up the field, which would play into the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles because that means Tua is holding on to the ball.”
