Top 10 Thursday: 10 reasons to watch birds fly south to see some dolphins

Ravens got their mojo back. The Dolphins finally won a game. They face off in a somewhat exciting, what else are you gonna watch, match tonight. Here are 10 reasons to tune in.

10. Tua in row?

Tua wasn’t terrible last week. In fact, he was quite good. He went 20 for 26 for 205 yards and 4 touchdowns. Apparently he could only see through one eye, so maybe that’s the trick he needed. Can he make it two good games in a row?

9. Is the Ravens D back?

The Ravens defense was horrendous early this year. But that was the case last year and they turned it around. They have been much better the last two games. Can they keep it rolling?

8. Watch Waddle…waddle

One of my favorite td celebrations is when Jaylen Waddle scores a td and then waddles around like a duck. There is a good chance it happens this game.

7. Return of Lamar

Lamar is back and is finally healthy enough to play. When he was playing they were averaging like 30 points a game. So there should be some scoring in this one.

6. Watch Mike McDaniel lose his job.

The Dolphins are 2-6. A loss in this one all but seals their playoff fate. There isn’t much hope as is, but dropping to 2-7 would make it all but impossible. I don’t see how this guy keeps his job even he makes it through the season.

5. See how many times the broadcast mentions the fact that the Ravens removed the toys from the locker room.

Apparently Lamar decided the team was having too much fun while losing so they took out the video games, ping pong tables and tv’s. Ironically Lamar did this while he wasn’t even playing and it didn’t seem to help that much, but it will be brought up, I’m sure.

4. Costume contest

It’s the day before Halloween so we are bound to get some good costumes in the stadium. You’ll probably see skeletons and ghosts and monsters and dolphin fans dressed up as empty seats. Plus Mike McDaniel dressed up like an NFL coach.

3. It won’t be as long as game 3 of the World Series

Everyone loves a close game with extra periods. But don’t fret, the longest this game will go is one overtime, so you don’t have to worry about being up until 1 in the morning watching this one.

2. See John Harbaugh with a dumb, confused look on his face.

This happens every game at some point.

1. Watch the AFC North Champs get closer to their division title

I’m holding strong to both my preseason prediction as well as what I said after the Steelers lost to the Bengals. The Ravens are winning the North. Tonight’s victory will get them that much closer to that.
