Rookie Quinn Ewers is the Miami Dolphins' new starting QB. His road was paved by coaching from Dad and understanding from Mom.

The Pittsburgh Steelers moved to 8-6 on the season and continue to hold firm atop the AFC North with a 28-15 victory over the Miami Dolphins (6-8) on Monday night. While the win moves Pittsburgh one step closer to the playoffs, the loss officially eliminates Miami from postseason contention.

The Miami Dolphins are a National Football League team that plays in the AFC East division. The Dolphins have won two Super Bowl titles over the course of their history.

The Miami Dolphins are waiving edge rusher Matthew Judon, according to a report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Judon, a four-time Pro Bowler, spent the 2024 season with the Atlanta Falcons but was not re-signed in free agency. He later signed with Dolphins, appearing in 13 games but failing to record a single sack.

Against Pittsburgh, Tagovailoa completed 22-of-28 passes for 283 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Despite those stats, the Dolphins had 93 yards entering the fourth quarter. As Miami fell behind 28-3, Tagovailoa completed 6-of-10 passes for 59 yards with one interception, which was his league-leading 15 th of the season.

The Miami Dolphins' season is teetering in limbo. Sitting at 6-8, Miami faces the opportunity to pursue a winning season and, possibly, some assurances of another year to build around the vision of head coach Mike McDaniel.
