Dolphins bench struggling Josh Rosen, turn back to Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Redskins

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins benched Josh Rosen after three quarters of offensive struggles Sunday against the Washington Redskins. They replaced him with veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick at the start of the fourth quarter.

The Dolphins were down 17-3 when the switch happened. The move appears to be a coaches' decision to spark the offense, and no injury has been noted for Rosen who watched from the sidelines as Fitzpatrick took over.

Fitzpatrick, who began the season as Miami's starting quarterback, immediately led the Dolphins to their first second half points of the season when he entered the game.
