The Miami Dolphins defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday night 26-24 at Raymond James Stadium to secure their first win of the 2022 preseason.
With new head coach Mike McDaniel allowing rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson to play the entire game, the team and their fans got a great look at what their seventh-round selection has to offer the team as a developmental option.
Miami’s defense had their moments, but they also allowed movement down the field at times, missing tackles and miscommunicating. However, two turnovers were big difference-makers in this contest.
Here’s how the fans reacted throughout the first victory of the McDaniel era in South Florida.
Jaelan Phillips power was too much for the Tampa RT and the flag is out — just about as good as a sack.

I'm expecting Jason Sanders to return to All-Pro form with Morstead as the holder.

If you know a particular cornerback is going to be picked on by your opponent….get a new cornerback.

Skylar Thompson is a keeper folks! There is something there to develop.

When I say defense ➡️offense is my favorite thing in sports, that's why! Darius Hodge forces the fumble and Sam Eguavoen returns it for the score!
Eguavoen told us last week he was tired of playing against his teammates, good way to show off tonight 🔥

Gaskin hits the hole decisively for a big gain. Happy to see him contribute!

Miami's has no depth on the o-line. I know I know its the preseason and I'm relaxed. It's just an observation

That was a perfect start to the Coach McDaniel era!!! He iced the confidence right out of the kicker 🧊🥶☺️ #FinsUp

Nice win tonight! They played hard and McDaniel called a great game! Thoughts are with Trill for a quick recovery 🙏#FinsUp
