MIAMI DOLPHINS

The Miami Dolphins tried to get Deshaun Watson, even at the risk of fan backlash. They tried all sorts of ideas because, it’s fairly clear, they didn't want to try again with Tua Tagovailoa for the 2022 season. Yet Miami is 2-0 and Tagovailoa is coming off a 469-yard, six-touchdown performance in a 42-38 shootout victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Tagovailoa took all the stories about how Miami wanted someone else and used it to fuel becoming the guy they needed. Say this about Tua Tagovailoa though, he knows all of that, knows all of the past doubts, and hasn’t let it impact his game.

The downturn in offense from the first two weeks of the NFL season hasn’t touched all corners of the league with a handful of players and teams putting up staggering numbers.

There were three instances in which teams had less than a one-in-50 shot to win, and somehow pulled off the victory. According to Next Gen Stats, the Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals all had less than 2 percent chance to win at some point during their games on Sunday. Baltimore led 35-14 going into the fourth quarter. At one point in the fourth quarter Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson had a perfect passer rating and also 118 yards rushing. They were down 23-7 into the fourth quarter.

Tua Tagovailoa led the Miami Dolphins to a massive comeback victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday and Mike McDaniel opened up about the game plan.

Tua Tagovailoa completely took over the game against the Baltimore Ravens and led the Miami Dolphins to a thrilling Week 2 victory while putting up monster numbers.

BALTIMORE — (AP) — Tua Tagovailoa threw for 469 yards and six touchdowns, four of which came during a spectacular fourth quarter, and the Miami Dolphins rallied from a 21-point deficit to beat Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens 42-38 on Sunday. Tagovailoa's 7-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle with 14 seconds left completed the incredible comeback after Miami (2-0) trailed 35-14 with under 13 minutes remaining. Jackson threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns. The Ravens got into position for Jackson to throw a desperation pass at the very end, but that fell incomplete. Tagovailoa threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki to make it 28-14 in the third, and his 2-yarder to River Cracraft in the fourth made it 35-21.

Give Tagovailoa credit, but also give the Dolphins front office credit for understanding how Hill would change their entire offense. The Dolphins got Hill, hired offensive guru Mike McDaniel as their new head coach and they look better than they have in a long time. LOSERSCarson Wentz: The thing about Wentz isn't that he's bad each week. It's that he's bad sometimes and you never know which Wentz will show up from week to week. This week, it was bad Wentz, at least in the first half.

The Dolphins quarterback led a rally from a 28-7 halftime deficit to tie the game at 35-35 late in the fourth quarter. Tagovailoa finished the day completing 36 of 50 pass attempts for 469 yards with six touchdowns, and two interceptions. His second touchdown of the day to Hill was a 60-yard bomb that tied the game at 35. Tagovailoa followed up by leading another touchdown drive capped by his second touchdown to Jaylen Waddle. And Tagovailoa secured his signature win to silence critics that have dogged him for most of this three-season NFL career.

Then their offense stalled out after one of the most time-consuming drives of the season for a 14-point swing in favor of the Miami Dolphins.

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers reportedly questioned the team's offensive game plan ahead of their Week 2 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers

The Patriots say quarterback Mac Jones sat out Thursday’s practice with an illness.

Mac Jones' injury doesn't appear to be serious. The New England quarterback sustained a back injury in Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins that required X-rays. Per the report, the Patriots will monitor Jones' progress before making a decision about his status for Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Head coach Bill Belichick didn't designate an offensive coordinator for the 2022 season. Former defensive coordinator and ex-Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia is reportedly calling the offense alongside input from Belichick.

Fire units responded to the parking lot outside Hard Rock Stadium after multiple vehicles caught on fire.

Three key takeaways from the state’s football scene this past weekend.

On the Patriots' opening drive, Holland intercepted Jones' pass, which was intended for DeVante Parker, the former Dolphins receiver who was traded to the Patriots. The takeaway stifled the Patriots drive in which they converted four first downs to move into Dolphins territory. Patriots receiver Jakobi Meyers made a contested catch over Dolphins defensive back Nik Needham for a 9-yard gain in the second quarter. ... TE Cethan Carter left the game with a head injury in the second quarter and did not return. Patriots: S Adrian Phillips left the game with a rib injury in the second quarter.

So far, when playing the New England Patriots, he also can’t lose. Nobody has won his first four starts against New England since Belichick took over there; Testaverde, Fiedler and Brees all lost in No. Smart football player.”The Dolphins were the only AFC East team that Jones didn’t lead New England to victory against last season, his rookie campaign. Tagovailoa and Jones are going to be linked forever, for a lot of reasons. Among those limited for the Dolphins was WR Jaylen Waddle — who caught passes from both Tagovailoa and Jones at Alabama.

Tua Tagovailoa connected with Tyreek Hill for 51 yards on the first play from scrimmage, and the Miami Dolphins set a franchise record for points in a preseason game, beating the Philadelphia Eagles 48-10.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — (AP) — The Miami Dolphins canceled their joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday after a stomach bug sidelined multiple players, coach Mike McDaniel said. A few members of the Dolphins staff have been affected and it appears to be contagious, he said.

The Dolphins will forfeit a first-round selection in the 2023 NFL draft and a third-round selection in the 2024 draft. The team's owner is suspended through Oct. 17 and will have to pay a $1.5 million fine.

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick answered questions about the NFL's investigation into the Miami Dolphins' tampering with Tom Brady in true Belichickian fashion: With indifference. And the Dolphins-Brady tampering investigation certainly can be categorized as both. The team also spoke with then-New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton while he was still with the team. The former Dolphins coach, meanwhile, released a statement where he said he felt "disrespected" by punishment and how the investigation "minimized" his allegations. All the while, Belichick remains uninterested in being involved with anything having to do with Flores' lawsuit or the league's investigation.

"I know of no prior instance of a team violating the prohibition on tampering with both a head coach and star player" over several years, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said.

The penalties mark the conclusion of the NFL's investigation into reports of tampering and intentionally losing games by the Dolphins.

The NFL has suspended Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and fined him $1.5 million for tampering with Tom Brady and Sean Payton following a six-month investigation stemming from Brian Flores' racial discrimination lawsuit against the league. The Dolphins will forfeit a first-round selection in the 2023 NFL draft and a third-round selection in the 2024 draft. He may not be present at the team's facility and may not represent the club at any team or NFL event. He also may not attend any league meeting before the annual meeting in 2023, and he is removed from all league committees indefinitely. Dolphins vice chairman/limited partner Bruce Beal was fined $500,000 and may not attend any league meeting for the remainder of the year.

The NFL finally handed down its sentence following a six-month-long investigation into the Miami Dolphins' alleged communications with Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton this summer. The league announced the Dolphins must forfeit their first-round pick in the 2023 draft as well as their third-round pick in the 2024 draft. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was also fined $1.5 million, suspended through Oct. 17, 2022 (the first six weeks of the season), indefinitely removed from all league committees and uninvited from all league meetings until next offseason. Vice Chairman Bruce Beal was also fined $500,000 and isn't allowed to attend any league meetings for the rest of the season. This story will be updated.

In its papers, the NFL argued that the discrimination lawsuit's claims were not properly before the Manhattan court because multiple arbitration agreements signed by the coaches require arbitration.

The Pittsburgh Steelers hired the former Miami Dolphins coach on Saturday, Feb. 19, 2022, to serve as a senior defensive assistant. Flores said Monday if Goodell truly wants to bring the kind of change the NFL's top executive has talked about in the wake of the former Miami Dolphins head coach's unprecedented legal maneuver, then Goodell should make sure the case is adjudicated by a jury of Flores' peers rather than in arbitration. “I think Commissioner Goodell has the influence to do what’s right,” Flores said during a teleconference with lawmakers to speak in favor of the FAIR Act, which would end forced arbitration. “The last thing you’re thinking about is arbitration clause that, if it all goes wrong ... or if you’re wronged, you’re going to be forced into a setting where really the odds are stacked against you,” Flores said.

The Rooney Rule was established in 2003 and requires teams to interview candidates of color for head coaching and senior football operation positions. “However well-intentioned, the effect of the Rooney Rule has been for team decision-makers to regard interviews with candidates of color as an extraneous step, rather than an integral part of the hiring process,” Morial said. “The Rooney Rule has been proven to be something the owners used to deceptively appear to be seeking real diversity,” Sharpton said.

Mike McDaniel was hired Sunday evening as the next Miami Dolphins head coach, replacing Brian Flores. Here's how Dolphins fans reacted on Twitter.

The Miami Dolphins hired San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel as their head coach Sunday, making him the first minority candidate to get hired so far this offseason. McDaniel had worked under 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan for the past 11 seasons and gets his first shot as a head coach after only one year as offensive coordinator. McDaniel then worked in Washington for three years with Mike Shanahan as coach and Kyle Shanahan as offensive coordinator before working under Kyle Shanahan when he was a coordinator in Cleveland and Atlanta. The Dolphins’ hiring of McDaniel followed some paths that the team has used in the past, most notably how he is yet another first-time NFL head coach. The 49ers will receive two extra third-round picks the next two years as compensation for developing a minority head coach.

The Pro Bowl is back on after a one-year hiatus, and the All-Star game is making its Sin City debut after the previous four editions were held in Orlando.

According to the lawsuit, Ross told Flores he would pay him $100,000 for every loss during the coach’s first season because he wanted the club to “tank” so it could get the draft’s top pick. (John McCall/South Florida Sun-Sentinel via AP, File) (John McCall)NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told teams Saturday that the league will look to bolster policies meant to encourage hiring of minorities, particularly as head coaches, and he pledged an investigation into tanking allegations raised by Brian Flores in his discrimination lawsuit against the NFL. He named the league and three teams — the Dolphins, Denver Broncos and New York Giants — in a class-action lawsuit this week alleging unfair hiring practices in the NFL.

(AP Photo/Brynn Anderson, File) (Brynn Anderson)ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — (AP) — John Elway is refuting Brian Flores' claim in a lawsuit that his interview with the Denver Broncos in 2019 was a sham and only conducted to satisfy the NFL's Rooney Rule. Flores, recently fired as head coach in Miami, named the Dolphins, Giants and Broncos in a lawsuit this week alleging unfair hiring practices in the NFL. And he denied Flores' contention he was hung over and just going through the motions to satisfy the league's requirement that teams interview minority candidates for head coaching jobs. Elway said he enjoyed his 3 1/2-hour interview with Flores and was “prepared, ready and fully engaged ... as Brian shared his experience and vision for our team." “It’s unfortunate and shocking to learn for the first time this week that Brian felt differently about our interview with him," Elway added.

The NFL's Rooney Rule set out to correct inequities at the top of pro football's hierarchy. But today, there are still few minorities in head coaching positions.

Brian Flores says his lawsuit against the NFL over alleged racist hiring practices will continue even if he becomes a head coach again this offseason because the league needs change.

From the NFC North to the AFC East, the firings began almost immediately after the NFL’s first 17-game season concluded.
