Hope is in the air.
Again.
Inside the Miami Dolphins’ bubble of an indoor practice facility, Jay Cutler is dusting off his bust for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. During an 11-on-11 drill, he plants a foot at his 48-yard line and—ding!—drops a perfect touch pass into the hands of a blanketed DeVante Parker for a touchdown. Moments later, during seven-on-seven, he uncorks a fastball up the seam that Jarvis Landry snares with one hand.
He isn’t a meme. He’s lights out.
And once the real games began, sure enough, Cutler threw for 230 yards, one touchdown and—get this—no interceptions in a thrilling 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
