McDaniel was behind his three players hyping them up to Marino. He then began to playfully taunt the former superstar.
"Our captains are really f---ing good players," he said. "Holy s---, look at these f---ing studs. … Yeah, Dan Marino! F--- your records, Dan. We’re coming for your records, Dan."

Marino was trying to hype up the crowd at Hard Rock Stadium as McDaniel was in his ear behind him. He holds the franchise record for most passing yards in a season with 5,084 and touchdowns with 48. Both marks were set during the 1984 season, when Miami went 14-2 but lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Tagovailoa would need two crazy games to end the regular season to sniff Marino’s passing marks. He has 4,214 passing yards and 26 touchdown passes this season.
