The Miami Dolphins will be without backup/”relief pitcher” quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick after the 16-year veteran tested positive for the COVID-19 coronavirus. The team heads into the season finale with a chance to claim a playoff position, with winning at the Buffalo Bills the most clear path to the postseason, and they will have to do it without the crutch they have had a couple of times this year. The training wheels have to come off rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and there is no safety net for the team now.
It is time for Tagovailoa to step up and show he is the right player for Miami.
