The Miami Dolphins defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday night to get their first win of the preseason. There were plenty of good performances like Jason Sanders looked like he was in his All-Pro form as he connected on all 4 of his field goal attempts. But the story of the night was the performance of rookie quarterback, Skylar Thompson. You’ll be hearing his name all week and rightfully so. The rookie has had a stellar training camp and he showed why the Dolphins are so high on him. If Thompson continues to play well, the Dolphins will have a tough choice to make on his roster spot, cause there is no guarantee he would land on the teams practice squad.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
