Misery Index · Despair
Dolphins fans are already mapping the road to 0-17 and drafting the eviction notice for Grier and Ross.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
The J.Bech touchdown from K.Cousins put Miami up early, then the M.Taaffe interception flipped the script and M.Willis — Malik Willis, the backup — sealed it with a 14-yard scramble touchdown in the third. Losing to a backup quarterback in Week 1 while J.Brents hands out 15-yard taunting penalties is the kind of opener that has fans invoking 2019 and cursing the front office by name. The road ahead looks awfully long.

Mike McDaniel with Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense: 14 points. Dolphins without Mike McDaniel with the worst roster in football: 13 points
