Mike McDaniel Had Classy Message About Why Miami Didn’t Try to Break NFL Scoring Record

Tua Tagovailoa orchestrated a Dolphins’ offense that produced a mind-boggling 726 yards in Miami’s 70-20 annihilation of the Broncos on Sunday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium.

In the win, the Dolphins (3-0) eclipsed franchise records for most yards in a game (595) and most points in a game (56). Even more, Miami nearly broke the NFL’s record for most points in a game (72) in the victory.

With 4:00 minutes to play in regulation, the Dolphins entered the red zone on a six-play drive that included a 52-yard run by fourth-string running back Chris Brooks. However, after a couple of running plays with limited yardage, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel chose for his backup quarterback Mike White to take a knee instead of kicking a field goal on 4th and 13 that could have potentially given Miami 73 points in the contest.
