The Miami Dolphins squared off against the Detroit Lions yesterday and Miami came away with the win. The Dolphins didn’t play their starters, meaning Zach Wilson and Quinn Ewers got the quarterback reps and they made the most of it. Wilson threw one touchdown while Ewers threw two and the rookie looked a little sharper than he did last week. The run game was pretty underwhelming, but it’s still preseason and the Dolphins didn’t have their top guys out there.
You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
