The Miami Dolphins, winners of four straight, are one of the NFL’s hottest teams heading into their Week 11 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

Miami (5-4) stayed on the West Coast this week following their 31-24 victory over the San Diego Chargers in an effort to stay acclimated to the time change. The Dolphins have won just one road game in the past 12 months, and are 1-3 away from Hard Rock Stadium this season.

Here are six players to watch, courtesy of ESPN Rams reporter Alden Gonzalez:

OFFENSE

QB Jared Goff: The 2016 No. 1 overall pick makes his highly anticipated debut against the same Dolphins defense that forced Phillip Rivers into four interceptions on Sunday. The Rams turned to Goff in need of a spark, after their offense managed only two touchdowns over the last three games. Goff struggled in the preseason, going 22-of-49 for 232 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions and three forced fumbles. But coaches have praised his progress ever since. His best traits are his poise in the pocket and his ability to throw the ball downfield, two things this offense desperately needs.

RB Todd Gurley: It has been a miserable season for Gurley, who ranks 41st among 43 qualified running backs in rushing yards per carry (3.08) and 43rd in average rushing yards before first contact (1.52). But Gurley did seem to get going against the New York Jets in the second half, gaining 54 yards on 11 carries and even having a 21-yard run that was called back because of a hold. The Dolphins have allowed the third-most rushing yards per game, and the Rams will need Gurley to take some of the pressure off Goff this week.

RG Cody Wichmann:: The second-year player faces his toughest challenge yet in Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. The Dolphins move Suh around, but most of the time he is matched up against the opposing right guard. For the Rams, that would be Wichmann, who has been graded out around the middle of the pack at his position. The Rams have been decent in pass protection, but have struggled mightily with their run-blocking schemes. Both must be on point Sunday.

DEFENSE

DT Aaron Donald: The Rams may be out two defensive ends, with Robert Quinn checking himself into the hospital on Monday with a non-football-related illness (he has since been discharged) and Eugene Sims entering concussion protocol. Donald is perhaps the only interior rusher who is better than Suh. Pro Football Focus has given Donald a grade of 95.3, just ahead of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (95.1) for the highest in the NFL.

MLB Alec Ogletree: The first-year middle linebacker is coming off a solid game against the Jets, one that saw him record 10 total tackles and come up with the game-clinching interception. Ogletree led a defense that allowed the NFL’s fewest points per game (12) and second-fewest yards per game (257.3) from Weeks 7-10. He’ll play a big role in trying to stop Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi, who has averaged 152 rushing yards over his last four games.

CB Lamarcus Joyner: He’s 5-foot-8, but he may be the Rams’ toughest player. Joyner is playing this season through a broken toe and has suffered an array of ailments that have yet to knock him out of a game entirely. The Rams love his aggressiveness and instincts in the slot. Pro Football Focus has graded Joyner as the NFL’s 17th-best cornerback. And with Trumaine Johnson and E.J. Gaines both healthy, Joyner is free to roam.
