MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The last thing Todd Bowles could afford was a Sam Darnold regression, a four-interception, one pick-six implosion against a team he needs to beat in his fourth year on the job.
If Bowles loses his job after the season, he can look back at this game as the beginning of the end.
The development of the rookie franchise quarterback was first and foremost this season.
Convincing Johnson and Johnson that the arrow is pointing up is the other priority.
Two birds were killed with one stone Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium.
