Jackson blasted the Dolphins’ coach and quarterback in an interview with Betway, only days after Miami’s embarrassing Week 7 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

Tua Tagovailoa says back-to-back 3-interception games haven't shaken his confidence
Back-to-back three-interception games for Tagovailoa have caused the Dolphins to drop to 1-6 on the year. They currently sit No. 2 in the 2026 NFL draft behind only the winless New York Jets.
In less-than-ideal conditions in Cleveland, Tagovailoa threw three interceptions and was benched during the game. Tagovailoa did not blame weather, however, for his lack of throws toward Waddle. Instead, he pointed to his height as the reason he didn't get the ball more to Waddle.
Defenses have figured out how to shut down the sixth-year quarterback and his contract hinders Miami's ability to move on from him.
Tua Tagovailoa explained that his height affected his ability to see receivers like Jaylen Waddle during plays, contributing to Waddle's four targets in Miami's loss.
Released footage shows Mike McDaniel savagely pointing over to the bench after Tua Tagovailoa tossed a terible interception.
