The Dolphins decided to bench quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for the remainder of the season in favor of rookie Quinn Ewers. Tagovailoa will sit as the third-string emergency quarterback as Miami is set to face the Bengals, Buccaneers and Patriots to close out the year.
Miami coach Mike McDaniel called the quarterback switchup decision “complicated but simple” as he wanted to set the team up for success these last few weeks. He felt that Ewers would give the Dolphins the best opportunity to win.
