Replaced Jimmy G. was Brock Purdy, who had been the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, making him the so-called “Mr. Irelevant”.

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns, but also had three fumbles and two interceptions. Both teams now have a record of eight wins and four losses.
