Winning seven NFL games in a row is hard — or is it?
The Miami Dolphins are the first NFL team ever to post a seven-game losing streak and a seven-game winning streak in the same season. It’s not an anomaly stemming from the new 17-game schedule either, as it only took the Fins 15 games to go from “How the hell was this team predicted to win 10-plus g...

So it really wasn’t necessary to blow up the Dolphins a second time after all
It was all over for the Miami Dolphins after the trade deadline. They were willing to sell all of their credibility and goodwill to trade for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, despite the whole “Tanking for Tua [Tagovailoa]” hashtag in 2019. The No. 5 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft did ...

Would you look at that — the Dolphins and Tua finally showed up this season
It’s amazing how far above average quarterback play can get you in the NFL. A lot of these teams trying to crack the hard candy shell of contending — the Broncos, Dolphins, Falcons, Colts — can take leaps with the right QB, and in the Bucs case, win it all. ...

NFL Powerless Rankings: The not very good, the bad and the ugly
The NFL season is halfway done, and now we know who the contenders are and the teams we can write off as pretenders. We can talk about the contenders another time because this list is about those less fortunate teams in the league. Now it’s time to check out the worst of the worst from Week 9....

Week 8 Powerless Rankings: The P.U.-ston Texans are still wretched
The 2021-22 NFL season keeps hurdling along, and we can separate the contenders from the pretenders now. We can talk about the contenders later, but that’s not what this is about. Now it’s time to check out the worst of the worst from Week 8. Welcome to the NFL Powerless Rankings....

Bungee jumping mascots, bad football, and a practice squad kicker ending a 20-game losing streak: Jags-Dolphins in England had it all
Once again, the NFL attempted to make Europe even less interested in American football with a poorly-played product on the pitch featuring the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, those who attended the game will share quite a laugh at a pub near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium....

Tua will be a bust, and not the kind that goes on display in Canton
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is entering some dangerous territory early in his second NFL season. As time rolls on and Tagovailoa continues with average-at-best play, the term “bust” will be attached to the former Alabama QB’s name like velcro on a pair of sneakers. Once a player’s name...

This weekend’s NFL slate is… what’s the word? HUGE
Week 3 of the NFL season is where we, as fans, normally start to realize which teams are for real and which teams are pretenders. While there are a few 2-0 teams that haven’t looked very impressive, Week 3 should give us a better understanding of where each stands in the current NFL landscape....

Once-perfect Steelers fall to imperfect Washington, past perfect Dolphins start celebrating
For at least one more year, the 1972 Miami Dolphins remain as the only perfect season in NFL history. The Pittsburgh Steelers, who were 11-0 entering their game tonight, shockingly lost, in their own house, to the 4-7 Washington Football Team of the miserable NFC East....

Benching Tua Sunday was just plain asinine
I’m of the firm belief that when you give a rookie quarterback the starting job, you don’t call take-backsies four weeks later. What Brian Flores did to Tua Tagovailoa in yesterday’s game was atrocious, and was a terrible display of a lack of confidence in the young signal caller....

Tua Time has Miami rolling
Week 10's matchup between the Fins and Chargers was highlighted by the two rookie quarterbacks squaring off against one another. ...

Deadspin Argues About Stuff: Rating Tua's debut
Dustin Foote: Alright Donovan, Tua Tagovailoa just won his first start against the Rams in Miami. We argued about whether or not the Dolphins should start Tua when Miami made the announcement two weeks ago. I wanted him in, you wanted him out. With the win, did coach Brian Flores make the right call...

Deadspin Argues About Stuff: Dooley and Foote beef over Tua Time, rookie QBs
Dustin Foote: Alright Donovan, Tua Tagovailoa was just named the starter for the Miami Dolphins. They’ll face the Rams on November 1st after their bye week. Do you like the move to put Tua in now, just under halfway through the season?...

Keep your pants on, Dolphins fans: It's not Tua Time yet
NFL teams don’t usually make a point to announce their starting quarterback every week. Unless your team’s signal caller is injured, or you’re the Bears, there is really no need to notify the fanbase about keeping the starting QB on the first string. ...
