Here's what Detroit Lions need to do to beat the Miami Dolphins

Free Press sports writer Dave Birkett previews Sunday's game between the Detroit Lions and host Miami Dolphins:

Know the Foe

Miami Dolphins (4-2)

Coach: Adam Gase (20-18 overall, 20-18 with Dolphins)

Key players: QB Brock Osweiler, RB Frank Gore, WR Albert Wilson, DE Robert Quinn, DE Cameron Wake

Last game: Beat the Chicago Bears, 31-28 (OT)

Last meeting: 2014: Lions won, 20-16

The buzz: Two straight losses brought them back to Earth after a hot start, but the Dolphins got a much-needed win last week when Osweiler made a surprise start in place of the injured Ryan Tannehill and threw for a career-high 380 yards against one of the best defenses in the NFL.
