Falcons vs. Dolphins live stream, Preseason Week 2: TV info, start time, how to watch

The Miami Dolphins face the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday, Aug. 21 in Week 2 of the 2021 NFL preseason and we have everything on how to watch and live stream.

Once upon a time, the Atlanta Falcons were in the Super Bowl — okay, so that was just a few years ago. But they have taken a stark decline since then, which makes their Week 2 NFL Preseason matchup with the Miami Dolphins all the more interesting as the Fins are on the decisively opposite trajectory.

After purposefully bottoming out and tearing down the roster, head coach Brian Flores has turned things around quickly in Miami, now having the team on the precipice of the playoffs. That’s a place new Atlanta head coach Arthur Smith would like to get a still-talented team to but there is certainly no guarantee.

Ultimately, this is a big preseason matchup for both the Dolphins and Falcons as they have a lot to build and work towards in the 2021 season. Thus, all eyes should be on this game and we have you covered with how to match that happen.

Falcons vs. Dolphins preview

Tua Tagovailoa remains the focus for the Dolphins throughout the preseason. Flores never put his full trust in the quarterback during his rookie season but now it’s the top-five pick’s show. He has a vast array of talented weapons and a defense that was one of the best in the league a year ago.

But beyond Tua, fans are also eager to see Jaylen Waddle, the teams 2021 first-round pick, in action. They also need to get the offensive line sorted out and recently acquired young tackle Greg Little could be getting serious play time on Saturday so the coaches can get an ample look at what he can offer in the renches.

As for the Falcons, we’re still waiting to see rookie tight end Kyle Pitts, a top-five pick in this year’s draft, get on the field and make an impact. People expect him to be a massive weapon right away and that’s why the excitement about getting him out there is so high.

However, there’s not a whole lot else you can really say about Atlanta in the preseason. Sure, you want to see the depth pieces fill out but, on the whole, we know the players on this team and we likely won’t learn all too much in preseason action.
