Dolphins Malik Willis throws 2 interceptions in first half vs Bengals
Dolphins QB Malik Willis had a dreadful first half against the Bengals, finishing 5-of-12, 60 yards and two interceptions as Cincinnati took a 21-7 lea.
Miami Gardens — The Dolphins' quarterback for the future, Malik Willis, did not impress in the first half of their Week 5 home game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Willis completed just 5 of 12 passes for 60 yards and threw two interceptions, as reported by Tom D Angelo of The Palm Beach Post. His dismal performance resulted in an 18.1 quarterback rating, an improvement from 0.6 before the final drive.
The first interception led to the Bengals' third touchdown, a 2-yard pass from Joe Burrow to Tanner Hudson with 55 seconds left. Willis' passes were mostly overthrows, with the first successful completion coming with 11:40 left in the second quarter. After that, he threw two more interceptions, one intercepted by Jordan Battle and another tipped and returned by Battle himself.
Willis had been warned by the Dolphins about his tendency to tap the ball before throws, but it appeared to be an issue that day.
