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.

Offensive guard Tyler Booker made his return to the starting lineup on Sunday a successful one in a game that was very successful for most of the 2025 rookies. Booker played on all 67 offensive snaps for Dallas. He also had eight more on special teams. More importantly, he looked fully recovered from the high ankle sprains that sidelined him for three games.

Joey Bosa looked excellent in the opening series of the game, applying pressure and batting a ball on third down, consistently troubling the Giants' offensive line.
