As the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals returned to their sidelines, and the emotions started to dissipate after a kerfuffle in Sunday’s game, Dolphins coach Brian Flores still found a way to turn his role in the situation into a teaching moment.
Rookie receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. went up to Flores on the Dolphins sideline and tried to fist-bump him to share his approval for the coach walking toward the Bengals sideline to voice his frustrations after return specialist Jakeem Grant took his second cheap shot from Bengals receiver Mike Thomas on a punt return.
Flores did not return the fist pump to Bowden, instead shaking his head and sharing a message to the youngster he hopes the rest of his Dolphins players take heed to if they’re going to continue being a member of the franchise’s rebuilding effort moving forward.
