The Miami Dolphins They returned to the path of victory this past Sunday after falling in their last three challenges and one of the great protagonists of the day for the team Mike McDaniel was the quarterback Tua Tagovailoawho had become one of the main sources of criticism for the organization’s poor start to the current campaign.
Tagovailoa made four successful touchdown passes, his most in the current tournament, and the Dolphins beat the Atlanta Falcons by a score of 34-10.
Miami (2-6) had seen its star player throw for three interceptions in each of the last two games. Tagovailoa was dealing with some type of illness before the game, the team reported, but showed no signs of it in the game.
“Tua is not someone who gets upset easily,” the wide receiver said. Jaylen Waddlein statements collected by the official portal of the NFL. “He has a lot of confidence and we have a lot of confidence in him.”
The quarterback completed 20 of 26 passes for 205 yards. He had touchdown passes to Waddle, De’Von Achane, Malik Washington and Ollie Gordon II.
Greater effort
His performance was particularly notable after he woke up with a swollen eye, leaving his status for the game up in the air.
“Probably one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had as far as waking up and having that on a game day,” Tagovailoa explained, adding that the team’s medical staff handled the situation with antibiotics, plus he had to wear a visor on his helmet for added protection. “It was different. I can’t remember the last time I played with a headset since I was out of high school.”
The Dolphins’ victory came after a painful 31-6 loss to the Browns the previous week. McDaniel was rewarded after betting on Tagovailoa again for this game, after the quarterback was replaced in the fourth quarter of their clash against Cleveland.
Tagovailoa entered Sunday tied for the lead in the NFL with the most interceptions (10).
