Dolphins Keep Mike McDaniel, Name Tua Tagovailoa Starter After 31–6 Browns Rout

NFL Network reports no staff moves are planned, with McDaniel promising a hard evaluation of roles after a mistake-filled loss.

Overview

  • Miami fell to 1-6 with a 31-6 defeat in Cleveland that included four turnovers, 11 penalties for 103 yards, and a 1-of-13 conversion rate on third down.
  • Mike McDaniel pulled Tua Tagovailoa late for rookie Quinn Ewers but confirmed Tagovailoa will take the first-team snaps and start in Week 8 at Atlanta.
  • Tagovailoa threw three interceptions for the second straight game and now has 10 this season, tied for the NFL lead.
  • Ian Rapoport reports owner Stephen Ross wants to continue with McDaniel for now, with potential changes tied to fan engagement or signs the locker room stops competing.
  • McDaniel said "everything is on the table," opened a competition for the No. 2 quarterback job between Ewers and Zach Wilson, and signaled possible personnel or style adjustments.
