After the blowout loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the biggest question hovering over the Miami Dolphins involves the QB. Joe Schad recaps the day.
- Rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers threw a 63-yard touchdown pass to fellow rookie Theo Wease Jr.
- The play was the longest of the 2025 season for the Miami Dolphins.
- It marked the first career NFL touchdown for both Ewers and Wease.
- The touchdown tied the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 7-7 in the first quarter.
The Miami Dolphins have their longest pass play of the 2025 NFL regular season from the hand of their rookie starting quarterback.
Quinn Ewers, a seventh-round pick out of Texas in the 2025 NFL Draft, hit fellow rookie Theo Wease Jr. for a 63-yard touchdown in the first quarter of the Dolphins’ game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 28 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
It was the first career NFL touchdown for Ewers and Wease as well as the longest pass play of the 2025 NFL regular season for the Miami Dolphins.
Ewers’ touchdown strike brought the Dolphins even with the Bucs at 7-7 in the first quarter.
Dolphins quarterback Quinn Ewers
Ewers made his first career NFL start last week in a 45-21 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
The rookie quarterback finished 20 of 30 for 260 yards with no touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Miami managed 389 yards of total offense under Ewers’ stewardship but the team’s three second-half turnovers were insurmountable.
