Dolphins name Ryan Fitzpatrick starting quarterback for Week 1

Any chance of an upset is officially over. The Miami Dolphins enter this week of game preparations for Sunday’s contest against the New England Patriots and Brian Flores has officially announced the winner of Miami’s quarterback competition. Miami lopped the first contender off of the roster over the weekend with the decision to cut quarterback Josh Rosen, a surprising move that left the Dolphins with just two quarterbacks on the roster.

The wily old veteran has once again come out on top: Flores announced this morning during his press availability that veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will serve as the team’s starter against the Patriots next Sunday.
