The Miami Dolphins have received mixed news regarding the television coverage of their highly-anticipated season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While the game will be called by the esteemed Kevin Harlan, known for his thrilling commentary on big plays created by Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle, the prominence of the matchup seems to have been overshadowed.

The game between the Dolphins and Jaguars will not receive extensive geographic coverage according to 506sports.com's weekly chart. It will be shown throughout Florida, most of Georgia except Atlanta, almost all of Alabama, and Tua's native Hawaii. However, compared to the other NFL games on CBS, the Dolphins-Jaguars game seems to be placed fifth in terms of coverage.

The number one announcing duo of Jim Nantz and Tony Romo will be calling the late-afternoon game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers, which is expected to draw attention due to the Chargers' debut under head coach Jim Harbaugh. Meanwhile, the early window game between New England and Cincinnati, announced by Ian Eagle and Charles Davis, is receiving the largest geographical coverage. Despite the Dolphins being a team with national appeal, their game seems to have been given less prominence.

Nevertheless, the Dolphins-Jaguars matchup holds significance as it is one of only two Sunday afternoon games featuring two teams that ended last season with winning records. The other game is between the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts. While the Dolphins' national appeal may have been overlooked, their competitive record makes this game one to watch for football enthusiasts.

In the grand scheme of things, the television audience bestowed upon the Dolphins by the networks does not determine their overall success. The Dolphins have been a prominent team in the league for many years, with a dedicated fanbase. As the season opener approaches, fans hope for an exciting performance from their beloved team.
