Miami Dolphins
One bad offensive penalty call by the officials was the turning point for this game. The Miami Dolphins got routed by the Cincinnati Bengals yesterday as Joe Burrow carved up the Dolphins defense and Miami had a 7th round rookie starting at quarterback in Quinn Ewers. These last couple of games is going to show just how bad this Dolphins roster is. They lack talent and are going to be dealing with some cap issues this offseason. Whether Mike McDaniel is back or not, this team probably won’t be ready to compete for anything next season.

The Miami Dolphins hosted the Cincinnati Bengals in a Week 16 showdown on Sunday afternoon. They played the part of host well, basically allowing the Bengals to do whatever they wanted in the second half in route to a second-straight embarrassing loss to an AFC North team. The game was close at halftime, with the Dolphins starting with the ball, only to have multiple turnovers blow the doors off anything Miami wanted to do.
The first career start at quarterback for rookie Quinn Ewers, who replaced the benched Tua Tagovailoa, did not do anything to spark Miami’s play. Interceptions, fumbles,...

Our Miami Dolphins ended one era last week and entered a new one today. Last week’s loss not only ended the Phins’ hope for a shot at the playoffs but also seemingly served as the end of Tua Tagovailoa’s reign as the starting quarterback. Tua, as most of you know by now, was demoted to third string with Quinn Ewers being elevated to starter. Miami will use the final three games to allow Ewers to audition for the starting quarterback role going forward.
Today’s opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals, like our Dolphins, are out of the playoffs after losing starter Joe...

The Miami Dolphins made a major move late in the 2025 season, benching quarterback Tua Tagovailoa following a series of uninspired play. Tagovailoa not only lost his starting position on the depth chart, replaced by rookie Quinn Ewers for the team’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he fell to the bottom of the chart. Tagovailoa was officially listed on the team’s inactive players list Sunday, with the Dolphins designating him as the emergency third-string quarterback.
Tagovailoa will still dress for the game and could play if both Ewers and backup Zach Wilson were to be injured during the contest....

The Miami Dolphins shook up their offense heading into Week 16, demoting incumbent starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to third string and promoting rookie Quinn Ewers into the top spot. The Dolphins will use today’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals as the start of the three-game audition for Ewers, judging if he could be the team’s starting quarterback heading into the 2026 season. After losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football to close out Week 15, eliminating Miami from the AFC playoff picture, the Dolphins are playing for pride as they start the slow build up to next season....

The Miami Dolphins saw their four-game winning streak snapped on Monday when they failed to compete meaningfully against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Dolphins were run out of the building early in the game, then threw up some garbage-time stats and points near the end of the contest. The loss ended the team’s already minuscule playoff chances and may have ended quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s tenure with the team.
Miami announced this week that they were benching Tagovailoa, dropping their 2020 first-round pick from the starting position to third string as rookie Quinn Ewers moved into the top spot. Heading into Week...

I know the 2020 NFL draft feels like just yesterday, but it’s been six years since the world watched as the league drooled over three of the league’s top quarterback prospects. Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, and Tua Tagovailoa will forever be linked together (Jordan Love and Jalen Hurts, too), but maybe there’s more to that than many may not know.
Sure, Dolphins fans often wondered what might have happened if the team drafted Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert fifth overall instead of Tagovailoa. I’m sure many wondered what would have happened if they waited to take Love or even...

Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season brings with it two Saturday games. First up, the Philadelphia Eagles visit the Washington Commanders in an NFC East rivalry game. Tonight, the schedule swings to the NFC North, where the Green Bay Packers visit the Chicago Bears.
Both games impact the NFC playoff picture: the Eagles can clinch the NFC East title with a win, while the winner of the Packers-Bears game will be a Detroit Lions loss away from clinching a playoff berth.
As we do for every game throughout the season, our contributors have made their predictions for each of...

The last time the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals met was back in 2022. If you remember, that was the game where Tua Tagovailoa suffered that scary looking concussion. We fast forward to now and Tua will be serving as QB3 while Quinn Ewers gets his first NFL start at quarterback. With the Dolphins out of playoff contention, it’s actually going to be nice to see someone different at quarterback as Tua was abysmal this season. Ewers gets a pretty bad Bengals defense to play against, so let’s see what he can do.
