The Dolphins 20-13 win against the Raiders might have come at a personal cost for a head coach. While indulging in the sweet fruits of the game, Mike McDaniel might have been an unintended target for an unprecedented injury. While McDaniel’s act was well-composed even after the injury, he later admitted he was hurt. “I had to act like it didn’t hurt, but it hurt,” confessed the Dolphins head coach.

During his tenure at the Dolphins, McDaniel has not only shown improvement in terms of numbers but also in terms of post-season appearances. Last season, the Dolphins made it to the playoffs, while the same is expected looking at their progress so far. The only change is more laughter in the team. McDaniel’s humor is something players are spotted enjoying on the sidelines, escaping the tense game environment for a while. The best part: the players are not the only ones who get a slice of McDaniel’s humor.

Mike McDaniel shares a funny response to Peyton Manning

NFL veterans, the Manning brothers, come up with the latest roundabouts right from the grounds of the NFL to their desk in ESPN’s alternate broadcast, the ManningCast. While Peyton Manning was just trying to schedule a session with McDaniel regarding the week 14 game against the Tennessee Titans, his text sent viewers into fists of laughter.

“Any chance I can talk to you for 10 minutes?” inquired Manning. Meanwhile, McDaniel replied with “Um f–k yea, you’re f–king Peyton Manning bro.” Manning, the two-time Super Bowl winner, and the proud lineage bearer of the Manning legacy has firmly set his foot in the industry as an analyst.

On the other hand, his brother Eli Manning did not seem too excited about the tweet. But the two had some more important things to talk about, the week 14 buildups being their primary prowess. The call between the Titans and the Dolphins was a thin one-point one, which cost the Dolphins another loss in the season. Despite all of this, McDaniels’ strategies work wonders on the team’s performance, as the Dolphins continue to lead the AFC East division.

Giving the team, especially McDaniels, the extra fuel is Tagovailoa’s leading numbers when it comes to the Pro-Bowl 2024 voting. It would be a first in his 4-year career. Now, all that is left is preparing a solid plan and their home ground to welcome the Jets for week 15. Only time will tell whether they will make or break their loss streak.
