Brotherly love takes the stage on Sunday night.

The Eagles and Dolphins are set for a matchup of high-powered offense in this week's "Sunday Night Football." This matchup may mean a little bit more for who's under center, however.

LIVE: Follow Dolphins vs. Eagles updates from 'Sunday Night Football'

For the first time in the NFL, quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts will meet on the field. This coming after their well-documented college careers at Alabama. Both have had varying degrees of success at the NFL level, and this weekend may provide the first measuring-stick matchup for each.

Tagovailoa is one of the NFL's best passers in 2023, partly because of Miami's track-meet offense that has only been rivaled by the "Greatest Show on Turf." The Dolphins are facing their toughest defensive matchup, with the Eagles D stout up front.

Hurts hasn't quite reached the highs of his 2022 season yet, and he's looking to wash away a three-INT performance vs. the Jets. Still, Hurts and the Eagles are off to a 5-1 start this year as they look to make another run to the NFC Championship Game.

From Roll Tide to offenses on a roll. Here's who plays and how to watch this Sunday's NFL matchup.
