It was a bizarre day for the New York Giants offense as it fell to the Minnesota Vikings, 16-13. While that final score illustrates a close game, the offense didn't provide much, as the only touchdown on the afternoon for New York came on the defensive side. Overall, the offense registered just 141 yards of offense on 2.9 yards per play.

The good news: former Texas starting quarterback Quinn Ewers went 20-for-30 for 260 yards. The bad news: Ewers threw two interceptions. That’s the barebones of what Ewers’ first NFL start with the Miami Dolphins looked like.

With a start against Cincinnati, Ewers will become the first former Texas quarterback to start a game since Sam Ehlinger for the Indianapolis Colts at the end of the 2022 season on Jan. 8, 2023.

Ewers looked calm and operated Miami’s offense well in his first NFL start on Sunday, replacing benched Tua Tagovailoa.

Also notable in the early window is the NFL debut of rookie Quinn Ewers, starting in place of Tua Tagovailoa, who was benched after a dreadful Week 15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in primetime. Ewers, a seventh-round pick out of Texas, threw for 9,128 yards, 68 touchdowns and 24 interceptions over 36 games with the Longhorns.

Bills (10-4, -10 1/2) over @Browns (3-11), 28-16: Buffalo, buoyed by huge rally triumph in New England, can clinch playoffs with win here if Texans and Colts also lose. More important, Bills still chase AFC East title and won't let lowly Browns get in way. Josh Allen keeps showing he can beat anything ... including his own middling defense.

The Miami Dolphins host the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16 of the NFL regular season in a 1 p.m. kickoff at Hard Rock Stadium. Dolphins franchise quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was demoted to third string this week and rookie Quinn Ewers was elevated to starter.
