"Rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers threw his first two NFL regular-season touchdown passes. One of them went to undrafted rookie wide receiver Theo Wease Jr. for his first touchdown catch. In a game full of firsts for the Dolphins' youth, the team already eliminated from postseason contention defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had playoff implications in the NFC South on the line, 20-17, on Sunday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium."
"Ewers, with backup center Andrew Meyer snapping him the football in his first NFL game, was 14 of 22 for 172 yards, threw his first two touchdown passes and did not throw an interception. Running back De'Von Achane had 83 yards rushing and 29 receiving. Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield went 33 of 44 for 346 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions."
"Mayfield quickly drove the Bucs down for a touchdown with 50 seconds left. He hit Mike Evans for a 4-yard score after picking up 59 yards on a pitch and catch to Chris Godwin and got in close thanks to Evans drawing a pass interference against Dolphins cornerback Rasul Douglas. Achane, though, recovered the ensuing onside kick to seal the Miami victory."
