Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis trusts God’s plan as his team sits at 0-3 so far this season.
“I mean, I lean on God. First and foremost, I lean on God, just trusting in the plan He got for my life. He got me to this point, you know? And I know who I am. It’s not really anything anybody could say that’s going to deter that,” he said in a post-game press conference after the Dolphins lost 13-35 in San Francisco earlier this month.
On Sunday, the Dolphins lost 10-24 at home to the Kansas City Chiefs and were defeated by the Las Vegas Raiders 27-13 in Week 1.
Sunday’s matchup against the Chiefs looked good at the start. The teams were tied 7-7 after the first quarter, and Kansas City led 14-7 at halftime. Miami’s only second-half points came on a 37-yard field goal. The Chiefs answered with a field goal, and, late in the fourth quarter, a Patrick Mahomes touchdown pass to Travis Kelce to put it away for the Chiefs, CBS Sports reported.
As Willis looks ahead to the rest of the season, he relies on his support system to keep pushing him forward.

“…my teammates and my family, I mean, we’re all in this together,” he said. “This is not an overnight thing. We’re obviously trying to continue to get better. We’ve got a lot of young guys, as I keep saying, we got to figure it out. And we have 15 more games to do that. It’s not the end of the world. We just got to continue to work hard and keep going.”
Before the season began and after his trade from the Green Bay Packers to Miami, Willis reflected on his faith and trust in God, no matter what he may face this year.
“Much love and respect to Packer Nation for supporting us and me the past 2 years! It has been awesome upholding the standard for the green and gold. It has been more than a blessing, and I will never forget my time here and the relationships I made! Fins Up,” Willis wrote on X in March.
He concluded his post with Matthew 6:33-34, which reads, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
The Dolphins will travel to Minnesota to face off against the Vikings this weekend.
