"They realize the challenge that's presented to you. So I think we'll be ready to play and we really look forward to it. It's a big game for us."

In the Dolphins' seven victories against quality quarterbacks since the start of last season, the defense has amassed 19 sacks and seven interceptions.

The quarterbacks had an average passer rating of 82.7, a total that would have ranked 22nd in the NFL last season. As a basis for comparison, Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill ranked 24th last season with a rating of 81.7.

The Dolphins' defense, which began the week ranked seventh in the NFL, will have to put in another outstanding effort to limit Rodgers.

The way Rodgers is playing, however, he could join the list of quality quarterbacks who has beaten the Dolphins in the past season-plus, a list that includes Brady, Brees, and Baltimore's Joe Flacco.

Rodgers' 114.8 passer rating is No. 1 in the NFL. Rodgers, a Super Bowl winner, isn't especially elusive but he knows how to use his feet to buy time.
