The Dolphins were officially eliminated from playoff contention on Monday night with their 28–15 loss to the Steelers, dropping them to 6–8 on the 2025 season. After briefly quieting questions about the franchise’s future during a post-Chris Grier firing four-game winning streak, Miami has now again woken the beast heading into the final three weeks of the campaign.
Specifically, at his Tuesday morning press conference in Miami, coach Mike McDaniel was asked if the team is considering sitting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The 27-year-old signal-caller is in the midst of the worst statistical season of his career, and was sacked four times by Pittsburgh on Monday while throwing two touchdowns and an interception.
