The Miami Dolphins embarrassingly lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football to close out Week 15. The loss eliminated Miami from any playoff contention, ended a four-game winning streak, and led to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa falling from the starter position to being the team’s third-string quarterback. It was a rough game for the Dolphins and for the fans.

Since the news was announced on Wednesday that Tua Tagovailoa would no longer be the starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins this year, opinions on the decision, the player, the team, etc., have been tossed around more than the pigskin will be during Sunday’s game.

One former NFL player — star EDGE rusher J.J. Watt — released a video on social media in which he criticizes the former Dolphins starting quarterback for his behavior following Miami’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.

In the video, Tagovailoa can be seen joking and laughing with former Dolphins defensive back, Jalen...

The Miami Dolphins are trading quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. At least, they will be soon.

This week, the team announced that Tagovailoa would be benched in favor of rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers, a 7th-round selection in last year’s draft. The veteran quarterback has had the worst season of his NFL career so far, throwing for just 2,660 yards, 20 touchdowns, and a league-high 15 interceptions.

However, lost in all the fuss and commotion, was the fact that Tagovailoa was not simply demoted to backup quarterback, but rather the No.3 emergency quarterback. In other words, the Dolphins are heavily invested in keeping...

Monday’s defeat at the hand of the Pittsburgh Steelers happened just a few days ago, but the Miami Dolphins are already looking like a far different team than they were while getting spanked by Aaron Rodgers and company.

Outside linebacker Matthew Judon was released on Wednesday to give the veteran an opportunity to chase a championship ring with a contender now that Miami has been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

But the major change everyone is talking about is the benching of starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Rookie seventh round selection Quinn Ewers will take over the starting quarterback role for...

It’s official. The Miami Dolphins have benched Tua Tagovailoa in favor for the rookie seventh round pick, Quinn Ewers. Mike McDaniel hinted at a change at quarterback the other day and the writing has been on the wall for Tua all season long with his struggles. There’s obviously a lot of moving parts with this decision.

The team gets to see what Ewers would look like with starting reps during the week. If he looks good, that’s great. That means there are some developmental tools there and they can invest in him as a backup quarterback (let’s not expect a...

Well, the thing that many Miami Dolphins fans have long clamored for, the benching of starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, has finally happened. Some other fans are, of course, not happy about this change to the roster, but it would also be malpractice for the coaching staff not see what they have in rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers now that the season is lost.

Speculation about what will happen to Tua now is all over the place. Some want the team to trade him, which seems impossible given his current contract. Cutting him seems as unlikely, given that the dead money would...

On Wednesday, it was announced by Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel that Tua Tagovailoa would no longer be the starting quarterback for the team and instead, the franchise would turn to rookie 7th round pick Quinn Ewers to lead them against the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday.

Tagovailoa spoke with the South Florida media on Wednesday afternoon in Miami’s locker room and was asked for his thoughts on the benching.

*“Naturally, I’d say I’m disappointed. I think it’s a normal human emotion, but outside of that, I’ve go to do my part. My role here right now is to help...

Monday Night’s Week 15 game was a make or break contest for the Dolphins.

As Enrique Martin so poignently asked: Do you really want it?

The Steelers said “Here we go! Ale ale ale!”

The Dolphins said: “No, no, no; no thank you, that’s okay!”

Everything was aligned against the Fins

You know the drill: December game, away, in the cold, in prime time, the Dolphins’ playoff hopes (no matter how small) on the line.

If there’s ever been anything more sure than a Miami loss in those circumstances, I’ve never encountered it.

This time had the addition of...

A short time ago, ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed that the Miami Dolphins would be benching starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa after the team’s dreadful 28-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Instead of Tua at the helm, owner Stephen Ross, interim general manager Champ Kelly, and head coach Mike McDaniel will get an up-close look at what rookie QB Quinn Ewers brings to the table.

Starting Ewers, however, isn’t the only move the Dolphins made today to prepare for the future of the franchise, and the youth movement that is imminent.

According to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, the Dolphins are releasing veteran...

The Miami Dolphins have decided to bench starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The move comes in the midst of Tagovailoa’s worst statistical season, including a career- and league-high 15 interceptions thrown in 14 games. His 88.5 passer rating is the worst of his career since his rookie season.

For a quarterback who led the league in passer rating in 2022, passing yards in 2023, and completion percentage in 2024, the fall off in 2025 has been precipitous. On Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he was 22-for-28 for 253 yards with two touchdowns and an interception,...

The Miami Dolphins have officially been eliminated from playoff contention following their embarrassing loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. It wasn’t a good look for a lot of folks within the organization, but the defeat was especially deflating for head coach Mike McDaniel and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, as their once-dominant passing game has been grounded in confounding fashion this year.

Time will tell if the team chooses to move on from McDaniel and/or Tagovailoa this offseason, but it should be abundantly clear to owner Stephen Ross that this team, as currently constructed, has no chance of returning...

Change may be coming to the Miami Dolphins offense sooner rather than later at the quarterback position. Mike McDaniel met with the media yesterday to discuss a variety of topics after losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night. One of those topics revolved around the quarterback position and Tua Tagovailoa. The offense was lifeless against the Steelers the other night and Tua looked horrible running the offense. Even during the four game win streak, Tua wasn’t playing great. Which is why McDaniel stated in his conference that everything is on the table, meaning Tua could be on the bench...
