Background on Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers, a seventh-round pick from Texas, recently made his first career NFL start. Unfortunately, this debut wasn’t as successful as he had hoped. In the previous game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Ewers completed 20 out of 30 passes for 260 yards, but he also faced challenges, throwing two interceptions. The Dolphins lost that game 45-21, primarily due to turnovers in the second half.
Looking Ahead
The Miami Dolphins are now focused on building around their young quarterback. With Ewers showing flashes of brilliance, fans are hopeful about the future. Collectively, the rookies’ performance against the Buccaneers may be a turning point for the team’s season.
