The last time the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals met was back in 2022. If you remember, that was the game where Tua Tagovailoa suffered that scary looking concussion. We fast forward to now and Tua will be serving as QB3 while Quinn Ewers gets his first NFL start at quarterback. With the Dolphins out of playoff contention, it’s actually going to be nice to see someone different at quarterback as Tua was abysmal this season. Ewers gets a pretty bad Bengals defense to play against, so let’s
see what he can do.
