After starting 11-4 last year, the Dolphins have gone 1-7. They’ve struggled at quarterback without Tua Tagovailoa.

Failed two-pointer by Seahawks should have been reviewed automatically

On a key two-point attempt late in the third quarter of Monday’s Seahawks-Lions game, Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf appeared to make the catch and get a knee inbounds in the end zone.
