"MIAMI GARDENS - Youth and curiosity are being served by the Miami Dolphins in the season's final few games, and that combination added up to a 20-17 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday in their home finale. Rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers was solid in his second start of the season and his third appearance, and the Dolphins' youngsters (mostly third year and younger for this purpose) turned in promising performances for 2026."
"The Dolphins played lots of third year or younger players Sunday and got good results as evidenced by the 63-yard touchdown pass from Ewers to Wease, Marshall's interception, and rookie defensive tackle Zeek Biggers blocking a field goal attempt. To make room for the young players the Dolphins made moves such as veteran center Aaron Brewer being inactive so young center Andrew Meyer, a second-year player, could make his NFL debut and veteran defensive tackle Benito Jones going to the injured reserve list."
The Miami Dolphins used the season's final games to give significant playing time to third-year-or-younger players and secured a 20-17 home win over Tampa Bay. Rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers delivered a solid second start and third appearance. Rookie wide receiver Theo Wease Jr. caught a 63-yard touchdown, rookie cornerback Jason Marshall Jr. recorded his first interception, and rookie defensive tackle Zeek Biggers blocked a field-goal attempt. Hard Rock Stadium attendance hovered around 70–75 percent, with Dolphins fans louder than the relatively subdued Buccaneers contingent. The team made roster adjustments to create opportunities, including Aaron Brewer inactive, Andrew Meyer debuting, and Benito Jones to injured reserve.
