Dolphins head coach Brian Flores has always been adamant that the team was not deliberately “tanking” this season and was going to do anything necessary to win games.
Via ESPN
The term tanking, I think it’s disrespectful to the game. I really do. I don’t like that term. I don’t like when people use it. This game has done a lot for me, personally. Football has really leveled the playing field for me as a person. It’s really the one thing that leveled the playing field so to disrespect the game and use that term, it stirs something up inside of me, to put that nicely.”
It does seem like the Dolphins are pulling all the stops these days to get W’s,
During today’s Dolphins-Eagles games, the Fins lined up in an insane formation that led to a punter throwing a touchdown to the kicker.

Here’s what the play looks like drawn up.
The @Dolphins lined up with punter Matt Haack at QB & kicker Jason Sanders out wide on 4th down with the FG unit on the field—Haack & Sanders connected for a 1-yard TD.
The Dolphins had center Daniel Kilgore on the field, NOT long snapper Taybor Pepper.#PHIvsMIA | #FinsUp pic.twitter.com/GFaPYqOOyh

Update: Dolphins’ Christian Wilkins straight up laughed in Eagles’ players faces.
Credit to my guy @FischerNBC6 for seeing this first, but how about Christian Wilkins laughing at the entire Eagles team after that Dolphins trick play TD? 🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/tsfgbADfpQ
