Fans Think Tua Tagovailoa Suffered Concussion In 1st Half On This Play And It Looks Believable
The Dolphins lost their fourth straight game on Sunday afternoon, and head coach Mike McDaniel called it a «team failure,» but one player garnered a lot more blame for the loss than his teammates; QB Tua Tagovailoa.
Tagovailoa played like November Tua until the 3:24 mark in the third quarter: one big play each for Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill, plenty of crisp work underneath to sustain a few drives. After he attempted an ill-advised Patrick Mahomes-style off-hand forward pitch at the end of a scramble for an incomplete pass, however, Tagovailoa forgot how football worked, throwing inexcusable interceptions to end three straight drives and handing the Packers a 26-20 victory on an afternoon when the Dolphins defense and running game played well.
With 2:40 left in the second quarter, Tagovailoa caught the snap and surveyed downfield before rolling to his right and dumping off a pass to Durham Smythe to escape a sack. However, Tagovailoa was tackled to the ground, and the quarterback's head appeared to smash into the ground. Watch the play below:
