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.
