Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers will make his first career start Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Ewers steps into the spotlight after the Dolphins' Week 15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers mathematically eliminated them from playoff contention.

The Miami Dolphins are benching Tua Tagovailoa for rookie seventh-round pick Quinn Ewers, a person with knowledge of the quarterback change told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

“You can see the confidence in his play,” Waddle said. “He’s got a swag to him.”
