Overview
- Miami improved to 7-9 with the home win, while Tampa Bay fell to 7-9 but can still clinch the NFC South by beating Carolina in Week 18, according to the AP.
- In his second NFL start, Quinn Ewers went 14-of-22 for 172 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
- Ewers connected with rookie Theo Wease Jr. for a 63-yard touchdown, the Dolphins' longest play from scrimmage this season, and later hit Greg Dulcich from 11 yards.
- Miami’s defense produced pivotal takeaways with interceptions by Jason Marshall Jr. and Ashtyn Davis, a Bradley Chubb strip-sack recovered by Quinton Bell, and a 55-yard field-goal block by Zeek Biggers.
- Edge rusher Chop Robinson left with a concussion and is likely out for next week at New England, and Ewers’ early flashes are prompting reported reassessments of Miami’s 2026 quarterback approach under cap constraints.
