The Miami Dolphins ended the first quarter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tied 7-7. Miami’s score was an impressive 63-yard pass from Quinn Ewers, who connected with wide receiver Theo Wease.
That play happened to be the longest play from scrimmage all season for the Dolphins, according to Davis Furones of the Sun Sentinel. It was also Ewers’ first touchdown pass of his career, and Wease’s first touchdown catch of his career.
“That Ewers-to-Wease TD was the Dolphins’ longest play from scrimmage all season (63 yards).”

The Dolphins benched Tua Tagovailoa in favor of Ewers back in Week 15. Sunday’s contest against the Buccaneers is the seventh-round rookie’s third start of his NFL career. He entered the Week 17 matchup with 313 passing yards and two interceptions while completing 65.8% of his pass attempts.
After handing the reins to Quinn Ewers, Miami very well could be seeking a new quarterback for next year. However, Tua Tagovailoa’s contract will make things a bit difficult for the front office. The 27-year-old quarterback is currently in a four-year, $212.4 million contract. Cutting him after this season would give the Dolphins $99.2 million in dead cap.
This story is currently developing, and more information will be published soon.
