Mike McDaniel safe for now – The Splash Zone 9/20/25

Before the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills kicked off on Thursday, Ian Rappaport reported that Stephen Ross wanted to be patient with Mike McDaniel despite the team’s struggles. Against the Bills, McDaniel called a pretty good offensive game despite leaning away from the running game at certain points. It’s just unfortunate that two of your top paid players in Zach Sieler and Tua Tagovailoa made major mistakes to aid the Bills. But you can see the players didn’t quit and give up on this coaching staff. Who knows what the future holds. But if the losses keep trickling in, how patient will Ross be?

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
