Rookies were in the spotlight in the Miami Dolphins ' 20-17 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers .
Fifth-round pick Jason Marshall Jr. made several big plays, including his first career interception -- one of three takeaways for the Dolphins defense.
On offense, it was a mistake-free day for rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers who passed for 172 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Ewers recorded his first career touchdown pass with a 63-yard strike to rookie wide receiver Theo Wease Jr ., who was playing in just his second NFL game.
Even on special teams, the Dolphins got a big play out of a rookie when seventh-round pick Zeek Biggers blocked a field goal just before halftime.
