MIAMI GARDENS — Sunday’s game at Cleveland will be another test for the Dolphins (7-8).
Weather shouldn’t be a factor, but it could be depending on how you define “cold weather” game. The temperature at kickoff should be in the mid to low 40s. If you define “cold weather” as around 45 degrees or below, yes, the temperature could be a factor.
For the record, the Dolphins are 0-4 in the Mike McDaniel-Tua Tagovailoa era when the temperature is 45 or below at kickoff.
The Dolphins lost at snowy Buffalo (32-29; 30 degrees at kickoff) during the 2022 regular season, lost at Buffalo (34-31; 28 degrees at kickoff) in a 2022 wildcard playoff game, lost at frigid Kansas City (26-7; minus-4 at kickoff) in a 2023 wildcard playoff game, and lost at Green Bay (30-12; 27 degrees).
And, for the record, Tagovailoa didn’t play in the Buffalo playoff game.
Here are some things to watch for in Sunday’s game.

ATLANTA (AP) — Republicans plan to move quickly in their effort to overhaul the nation’s voting procedures, seeing an opportunity with control of the White House and both chambers of Congress to push through long-sought changes that include voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements.
They say the measures are needed to restore public confidence in elections, an erosion of trust that Democrats note has been fueled by false claims from President-elect Donald Trump and his allies of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

NEW YORK (AP) — As a Democrat who immersed himself in political news during the presidential campaign, Ziad Aunallah has much in common with many Americans since the election. He’s tuned out.
“People are mentally exhausted,” said Aunallah, 45, of San Diego. “Everyone knows what is coming and we are just taking some time off.”
Television ratings — and now a new poll — clearly illustrate the phenomenon.
A man accused of attempting to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump in South Florida won’t be tried until September 2025.
Ryan Routh’s trial will begin Sept. 8 instead of the previously scheduled Feb. 10, 2025 start date, U. S. District Judge Aileen Cannon said in an order released on Monday.
Routh, 58, a Hawaii resident, has pleaded not guilty.
Routh’s attorneys had asked the judge to delay the trial until no earlier than next December, saying they needed more time to review the evidence against him and decide whether to mount an insanity defense.
Routh owned 17 cellphones and numerous other electronic devices, and there are hundreds of hours of police body camera and surveillance videos that have been provided to the defense, Routh’s attorneys argued during a hearing two weeks ago in Fort Pierce.
In this image taken from police body camera video and released by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, law enforcement officers arrest Ryan Routh, the man suspected in the apparent assassination attempt of Donald Trump on Sept.
