Daniel @DanielEliesenDolphins win their next two games which are winnable and they might just mess around and put themselves back in the conversation…..we shall see
Cameron Wolfe @CameronWolfeTua Tagovailoa has played well throwing on the move tonight. That was element of his game he wanted to unleash this year. He’s back to it effectively — makes them a better offense.
Tadi Abedje @realTadiAbedjeIt’s so good to see Tua Tagovailoa back playing despite his concussion history as the Dolphins are a better team when he’s quarterbacking them!!#GoFins #NFL
Next Sunday, the Dolphins will look to grab a back-to-back win as they face the 2-7 Las Vegas Raiders at home.
