The Miami Dolphins got absolutely crushed at home by the Cincinnati Bengals 45-21 in quarterback Quinn Ewers' starting debut, but it really wasn't all bad.
Ewers showed off lots of poise and accuracy in the first half, only to see everything go off the rails after the break. His elite counterpart, Joe Burrow, made sure the Bengals capitalized with touchdowns on three giveaways and a turnover on downs on a QB sneak, where Ewers slipped on the midfield logo.
All those qualifiers and admittedly lower moments from Ewers aside, though, one top Miami assistant on the offensive staff believes the rookie is an upgrade over benched starter Tua Tagovailoa in a big way.
