This was just beyond rough. In a season when the Dolphins are focused on improving every week, Willis is doing absolutely nothing right now. He plays like the game is too fast for him, trying to make the perfect play instead of just making a play. He overlooks an open player to find a bigger option, which leads to bad throws that fall incomplete or get picked off. Until completing four passes in the final drive of the first half, Willis was 1-for-7 for 23 yards and two interceptions, giving him a 0.6 passer rating. He finished the game 15-for-27 for 137 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, giving him a 51.0 passer rating.

Willis posted 51.0 passer rating with two INTs; struggles raise QB future questions.

Starting QB delivered a poor performance against Cincinnati, playing as if the game was too fast for him and trying to make perfect plays instead of executing. Willis was 1-for-7 for 23 yards and two interceptions (0.6 passer rating) until completing four passes in the final drive of the first half; he finished 15-for-27 for 137 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions (51.0 passer rating). The source notes the second half showed flashes of why the coaching staff believes he could be the QB of the future, but his overall performance raises questions about whether Miami will need to make a change at the position.
