Dolphins punter quotes Ted Lasso after drop that defines 0-2 start
The Miami Dolphins surely would have lost anyway. But the punter flat-out dropping the ball and being tackled says it all about this 49ers loss.
In a 35-13 defeat to the 49ers, Miami Dolphins punter Bradley Pinion was heard quoting Ted Lasso, a popular TV show about a football coach. Pinion admitted that he needs to improve, saying, "I just got to be better." The Dolphins are currently 0-2, after losing to a more experienced and talented opponent. The loss was exacerbated by Pinion's failed punt, which was recovered by the 49ers in the third quarter.
Despite the loss, Pinion remains optimistic, stating, "The ball just slipped out of my hand, and I just got to be better." The bigger issue, though, lies with the defense, which allowed five touchdowns to the 49ers on their first five possessions. Quarterback Malik Willis has also struggled, being sacked nine times in two games. The Dolphins are facing a tough season ahead, with the possibility of a top draft pick looming.
