The Miami Dolphins shocked the NFL by benching QB Tua Tagovailoa on Wednesday.

The Miami Dolphins took a rough loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15, and it knocked them out of playoff contention.

A week ago, Donovan McNabb boiled Philadelphia’s passing issues down to a familiar problem: when the offense tilts too heavily toward A.J. Brown, the rest of the structure suffers.
