Pro Football Hall of Famer Bill Cowher put the Miami Dolphins on notice following their 31-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns on the road Sunday afternoon.
The Dolphins struggled in all phases of the game. Tua Tagovailoa had three interceptions as part of a four-turnover game. And there weren’t many good answers as to why Miami had such a difficult game in the postgame press conference.

Cowher called the team at CBS.
“In the second half of that game, they seemed almost disinterested,” he said. “They seemed deflated. They seemed almost… there was nothing left in the tank. They almost shut down. I’m just talking about the way I saw it. Tua fumbled (three) times. The defense gave up some big plays.
“It’ll be interesting to see what happens there. There’s been a lot of talk about the lack of structure they have inside the building… We don’t know what’s going on inside the building, because we’re not there. But we see the product that’s on the field. And right now, there are some problems in Miami.”
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said there were “frustrated players” on the field.

“We can’t let it seep into our game and stop us from executing. So I mean, the list goes on. Minus 4 (turnovers) and 100 yards on penalties, two formulas that generally equal an immediate loss no matter what you do,” he said. “So, you know, I think we didn’t see it coming in terms of our preparation, but absolutely, with 100% certainty, you have to evaluate everything.
“You know, I think it’s like this: No person, no player, no coach has clean hands and we have to get back to work, starting with me, do a better job. We have an NFL opponent and a game next week where we have a lot of work to do and in the meantime, this was a step back in the way we play football. I thought we had growth and generally, growth without results is a good thing for your time. In this case, it wasn’t good enough. You know, you can go off on any tangent and you’re at least partially right, regardless of what angle you take when you get hit like that.”
McDaniel added that he was not worried about his job security.
