Miami Dolphins<\/a> coach Mike McDaniel opened the door to a possible quarterback change Tuesday, saying “everything is on the table,” after Tua Tagovailoa<\/a>‘s performance in Monday night’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tagovailoa threw his NFL-worst 15th interception in the 28-15 loss to the Steelers, which eliminated the Dolphins (6-8) from playoff contention.<\/p>\n

Tagovailoa threw two touchdown passes Monday night but both scores came with the game already in hand for Pittsburgh. He also took four sacks in the loss.<\/p>\n

“The quarterback play last night was not good enough. So, for me, everything is on the table,” McDaniel said.<\/p>\n

Zach Wilson<\/a> and rookie Quinn Ewers<\/a> are the Dolphins’ other quarterbacks.<\/p>\n
