With the Dolphins struggling, CBS Sports NFL columnist Pete Prisco called out Miami for their performance against the Colts and for the manner in which they made Jones look

"I know it's tough to open on the road in the NFL," Prisco said on CBS Sports HQ. "It's always hard to do, but you got to go in there and compete. They didn't even compete. It wasn't even close. Tua was terrible. I mean, the offensive line wasn't good. He kept getting hit. He turned a ball over.

" And defensively, they made Daniel Jones look like he was Peyton Manning in a Colts uniform. It's a bad combination. They had major problems. Let's be real. You have the discipline problems from a year ago."

Moreover, Prisco believes that Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel's days in South Florida could be numbered, as he believes the 42-year-old should be on the hot seat.

"Look, ultimately, it falls back on the head coach," Prisco added. "Mike McDaniel went in there. He was loosey-goosey. He cared more about playing music at the practices. And somebody has a good practice, they can play their music…

"Remember at the end of last season, he said, I find these guys, but they still were late. Well, that's on you. It's a reflection of you. The problem is Mike McDaniel. I think Mike McDaniel's seat just got really, really hot."
