The Phinsider
For the last time in 2025, the Miami Dolphins are playing at Hard Rock Stadium today, welcoming the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for an intra-state rivalry game. The Dolphins have already been eliminated from the postseason, stumbling to a 6-9 record this season, leaving them with just pride and 2026 preparation to play for. The Buccaneers, meanwhile, enter Week 17 looking to stay alive for a Week 18 NFC South championship game against the Carolina Panthers.
The Dolphins are also into their second week with rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers starting while former starter Tua Tagovailoa is benched and on the sidelines. Miami is also starting to move to several of its younger players assuming larger roles on the roster, including adding wide receiver Theo Wease, Jr., to the active roster from the practice squad and elevating linebacker Derrick McLendon and offensive lineman Josh Priebe from the practice squad.
