The NFL dinged the Dolphins for tampering with Tom Brady and Sean Payton, but gave them a pass on the tanking allegations raised by former coach Brian Flores. But they mostly disregarded the tampering allegations levied by former coach Brian Flores.
That said, former NFL executive Mike Lombardi seems to think some of the tampering punishment had tanking built into it. Or something like that. Because he’s dragging up the infamous Eagles Week 17 tank job in 2020 — one that kept the Giants from winning the NFC East as the worst division champion ever.
If I were the Dolphins, I would ask why the Commissioner didn't fine or take draft picks away from Philadelphia for tanking the last game of the year in 20 and getting a higher pick.
