The NFL was never going to come out and throw a team under the bus for malicious tanking like that. Not without zero other options. The league hammered Ross for tampering likely with a little finger wagging towards the tanking, as in don’t get caught being stupid again. 

Let’s do Dan Snyder next.

Flores: "I am thankful that the NFL's investigator found my factual allegations against Stephen Ross are true."

NFL: "Dolphins did not intentionally lose games during the 2019 season. Nor did anyone at the club, including Mr. Ross, instruct Coach Flores to do so. No witness contended otherwise. The Dolphins competed hard to win every game."

Nah. They basically admitted the man said that but Flores just took it seriously. A little "jokey joke" 

Puhlease.

They just downplaying his words because they will NEVER admit the man wanted his HC to tank. That would look awful. Tampering they can deal with.

They acknowledged Ross actually offered 100K per loss.  But official line is that “he wasn’t serious”.   M’kay.  
 

NFL found an easy way to save face here.  Not sure either side can say they’re clean here lol.
