DAVIE, Fla. (AP) Miami Dolphins receiver Jarvis Landry is critical of fans who lobbied for quarterback Jay Cutler to be benched, saying they’re an embarrassment to players.
Cutler drew jeers while struggling through much of the Dolphins’ 2017 home debut, before his fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Landry helped beat the Tennessee Titans 16-10. The crowd chanted repeatedly for backup quarterback Matt Moore.
Landry says it’s disrespectful for fans to jeer a player who works hard, and they don’t understand the situation.
Cutler threw for only 92 yards, although by coach Adam Gase’s count he had five passes dropped. Cutler’s passer rating ranks 30th in the NFL, and the Dolphins have scored only three offensive touchdowns this season.
They play at Atlanta on Sunday.
