Dallas will face the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the playoffs. After qualifying for the Play-In Tournament last season, the Thunder have jumped up the standings and will be a top-three seed, meaning they will have home-court advantage for at least the first round.

Where to watch Titans vs. Dolphins: NFL Week 4 Monday Night Football live stream
Will Levis stands at the podium and speaks.

There will be a doubleheader on Monday Night Football for the second consecutive week. In the first game, Will Levis and the Tennessee Titans (0-3) travel to Florida to play Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins (1-2). Chris Fowler, Dan Orlovsky, Louis Riddick, and Laura Rutledge will be on the call for ESPN.

The Titans and Dolphins have major questions at quarterback coming into Week 4's game. Levis' turnovers are costing the Titans possessions, points, and ultimately, games. His inability to protect the ball is a huge issue. For Miami, their starting quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, is out with a concussion. Their backup, Skylar Thompson, is not 100%. Will head coach Mike McDaniel trot out an injured Thompson, or let Tim Boyle or Tyler Huntley take over?
