ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — If you're looking for what channel the Miami Dolphins game is on today, head on over to Amazon Prime Video. The online mega-retailer is playing host to the National Football League's first-ever "Black Friday" game. 

The matchup between the Dolphins (7-3) and New York Jets (4-6) will be streamed to football fans for free, so people don't have to subscribe to Amazon's Prime subscription. 

Amazon is paying $100 million to the NFL to have an annual game on Black Friday, with the hope that enough people tune in and — naturally, for Amazon — make a few purchases during the game, according to CBS Sports. 

The outlet reports the last time the NFL played games on a Friday that wasn't a holiday was in 1986, six days before Christmas.

The Dolphins have won five of the past six meetings against the Jets and nine of the past 11. Another win would give Miami 8-3 starts in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2000-01. 

Dolphins vs. Jets kicks off at 3 p.m.

DOLPHINS PLAYER TO WATCH: CB Jalen Ramsey. The star cornerback has three interceptions in three games this season, including two last week against Raiders rookie Aidan O’Connell. According to Pro Football Focus, Ramsey has only been targeted 16 times and allowed four receptions for 41 yards in his past three outings.

JETS PLAYER TO WATCH: QB Tim Boyle. The 29-year-old backup quarterback makes his fourth NFL start and first with the Jets as he replaces the benched Zach Wilson. Boyle spent his first three seasons in Green Bay behind Aaron Rodgers and then made his only three previous starts during the 2021 season after signing with Detroit. In 18 career NFL games, mostly in mop-up duty, Boyle is 73 of 120 for 607 yards and three touchdowns with nine interceptions.

KEY MATCHUP: Dolphins WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle vs. Jets CBs Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed. It's a showdown of perhaps the NFL's top wide receiver duo vs. perhaps the top cornerback duo. Hill leads the NFL with 1,222 yards receiving and nine touchdowns, while Waddle has 44 catches for 577 yards and three scores.
