NFL fans believe Dolphins’ head coach Mike McDaniel was smoking a vape pen during Bills game
The 39-year-old head coach called QB Skylar Thompson to have a few words with him and then appeared to be putting something in his mouth. Many fans shared the video on social media which has gone completely viral.
Many fans reacted hilariously on social media and some fans were seriously in disbelief with McDaniel’s action. One fan gave him a pretty funny nickname.
Mike McVape 💀
One fan took a hilarious dig at the quarterback Skylar Thompson for his terrible performance in the game.
Skylar has him stressed 😭😭😭
Another Twitter user had the same opinion.
I mean with Skylar Thomson as QB it makes sense
One fan asked a serious question to Google.
*Googles can coaches vape on sidelines*
One user used a hilarious pop-culture reference to portray McDaniel’s situation on the sidelines.

On the other hand, one fan straight-up called him ‘coach of the year’.
Coach of the Year
One fan wants the NFL to seriously investigate this incident and wants a hefty fine for the head coach if found guilty.
This needs to be investigated. 1st off if he is in fact vaping this is a disgusting advertisement to young kids watching this game. 2nd if he can have one in an NFL stadium that does not allow use of these products he needs to be seriously fined for his actions
Meanwhile, one fan took a measured approach and analyzed the video to tell the other side of the story.
He's definitely breathing into his glove to warm up his hands. Look at the way his lips push forward. If he was vaping, his lips wouldn't move like that. Definitely looked like he was vaping on the first watch tho
Notably, smoking is not allowed in the Bills Stadium as people could get a massive fine because of that. Right now, coach McDaniel has not commented on the incident; however, if he indeed smoked inside the stadium, he could get a good amount of fine.
The Dolphins’ season ended as the Bills advances
The Dolphins were without their star quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, against the Bills, which made plenty of Dolphins fans upset. After suffering 3rd concussion of the season, backup QB Skylar Thompson took Tagovailoa’s place. Thompson has made one touchdown and 2 interceptions in that game against the Bills. As per reports, the Dolphins are considering Tagovailoa as their starting QB in the 2023 season after a great season with the Miami side.

On the other hand, the Bills are having a great season so far, as they already clinched the AFC East division. Now, they will face the Bengals in the Divisional Round after beating the Dolphins in the Wild Card round. Bills’ QB Josh Allen is having an MVP-calibre season and has a great chance to take his team to the Super Bowl.
