In a wild final 10 minutes, the Miami Dolphins benched their quarterback, committed a critical defensive penalty and allowed an 85-yard TD. And they won, 26-25, saving their playoff hopes in what has been a miraculous season, moving their record to 10-5. The Las Vegas Raiders, who fell to 7-8, appeared to be ready to beat Miami and remain in the playoff race after Daniel Carlson’s field goal gave them a 25-22 lead with 19 seconds left. But the Raiders committed a terrible face mask penalty… Source link

The decision to start the fifth pick of the draft probably got more scrutiny than it deserved. When Brian Flores announced earlier this season that the Miami Dolphins were switching quarterbacks from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Tua Tagovailoa, it was far from an easily accepted decision. People wondered how the Dolphins could bench Fitzpatrick, especially with the Dolphins on a two-game winning streak and holding a 3-3 record. It has turned out pretty well. The Dolphins have gone 5-2 in Tagovailoa’s… Source link

Two New England Patriots streaks ended Sunday: their 11-year playoff streak, the longest in NFL history, and their nine-game winning streak against starting rookie quarterbacks. The Patriots lost 22-12 to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, a defeat that eliminated them from the playoffs for the first time since 2008 and just the second time since 2003. Tua Tagovailoa became the first rookie starting quarterback to notch a victory against the Pats since Geno Smith in 2013. The Patriots couldn’t pull… Source link

This isn’t how they drew it up. But the Kansas City Chiefs fended off Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins to improve to 12-1 and clinch their fifth straight AFC West title on Sunday. Kansas City survived four turnovers, including three Patrick Mahomes interceptions, to secure a 33-27 victory at Hard Rock Stadium, the site of their Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers in February. They bounced back from an early 10-0 deficit aided by the longest sack in NFL history to open a 30-10… Source link

The legend of Ryan Fitzpatrick got out of control. He’s a competent NFL quarterback and a lot of fun to root for. He can get hot for a few weeks at a time. But it was still weird how people freaked out when the Miami Dolphins benched him. Miami replaced a 37-year-old with an 82.1 career passer rating for the fifth pick of the 2020 NFL draft. Tua Tagovailoa is the Dolphins’ future. He might be the present, too. Sunday was an eye-opening win. The Dolphins’ offense didn’t do much in… Source link
