Overview

  • Miami fell to 1-6 with a 31-6 loss to the Browns, posting 219 yards, four turnovers and going 1-for-13 on third down.
  • Ian Rapoport reports no immediate staff changes are expected, with Ross still backing McDaniel under conditions tied to attendance and player buy-in.
  • Tua Tagovailoa threw three interceptions for the second straight game and was benched late for rookie Quinn Ewers, who made his NFL debut.
  • McDaniel said all quarterback options are on the table and warned he’ll replace players who routinely hurt the team, as penalties hit 11 for 103 yards.
  • A separate report surfaced Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver as an early candidate for the Titans’ head-coaching vacancy.
