On a Sunday spitting with drama, Tua Tagovailoa and Bryan Flores showed how the next several years might look like. Tagovailoa struggled in the first half before turning on the offense right from the first drive of the second half. Flores went after the Cincinnati sideline after a second cheap shot on punt returner Jakeem Grant in a way that started a melee. And, yeah, the Dolphins are 8-4 for the first time since 2003.
Dolphins coach Brian Flores left the sideline to meet a crowd of players tussling after the play and shouted a statement to Bengals safety Shawn Williams, who stepped on the leg of Dolphins rookie offensive linemen Solomon Kindley during the aftermath.
