Malik Willis Confirmed as Starting Quarterback Despite Struggles

Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley confirmed during the team's Week 5 bye that there are no plans to bench quarterback Malik Willis, despite an 0-5 start and ongoing struggles with decision-making and field vision. Willis, who has statistically struggled compared to fellow five-game starters, showed flashes of comfort and aggressiveness during a two-minute drive against the Cincinnati Bengals, prompting the coaching staff to stick with him as their starter.
