Watch: Dolphins rookie intercepts Kirk Cousins in NFL debut
The Dolphins are thin at safety, but one of their rookies was in the right place at the right time to interception a pass against the Raiders.
Dolphins rookie safety Michael Taaffe made an impressive interception in his NFL debut, snagging a pass from Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins during his team's Week 1 matchup against the Raiders. The interception came in the second half, following an errant throw by Cousins that landed in Taaffe's arms. Taaffe, who spent five years at Texas and earned All-SEC and All-American honors twice, was drafted by Miami in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft and has since earned a starting role in the tight safety room.
