Quinn Ewers Earns First NFL Win as Dolphins Edge Buccaneers 20-17

Coach Mike McDaniel will start the rookie again in New England to extend Miami's late-season evaluation for 2026.

Overview

  • Ewers went 14-of-22 for 172 yards and two touchdowns, with both scores coming before halftime.
  • The rookie hit Theo Wease Jr. for a 63-yard touchdown, Miami's longest offensive play of the season and the first career TD for both players.
  • Tight end Greg Dulcich added five catches for 58 yards and a touchdown after joining Miami in October via waivers, and De'Von Achane totaled 112 yards from scrimmage.
  • Miami managed just 72 yards after halftime but held off Tampa Bay to close out the 20-17 result.
  • McDaniel praised Ewers' decision-making and confirmed he will start the Jan. 4 finale at the Patriots as the 7-9 Dolphins continue their roster assessment.
