"He's not just a coach out there. If his guys get hurt he's just not going to let it go," Tua on Flores coming to Jakeem's defense. "It's a testament to how close we are as a team."

Grant was hit by Mike Thomas of the Cincinnati Bengals during Sunday’s game, which led to the heated brawl. Flores came on the field in the midst of the melee and had to be held back by Dolphins players.
After the brawl ended, three players were ejected, including the Dolphins’ DeVante Parker and Mack Hollins.
Flores took over as head coach of the Dolphins last year and after a brutal 2019 start has them currently on pace for a playoff spot with an 8-4 record.
The Dolphins ended up winning Sunday’s game, 19-7, shutting out the Bengals after the visitors scored a first-quarter touchdown.
Tagovailoa bounced back strong in the contest after sitting out last week’s win over the New York Jets. In this clash, Tagovailoa completed 26 of 39 passes for 296 yards and one touchdown.
