Miami Dolphins quarterback Matt Moore replaced Jay Cutler to start the second half of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the starter was evaluated for a concussion. The Dolphins announced Cutler will not return to the game, signalling he was not cleared from the concussion protocol.

Cutler completed 6 of 12 passes for 83 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions in the first half.

This is the second time this season that Moore has had to come in to replace Cutler due to injury, leading the Dolphins to a victory over the New York Jets in Week 7.
