Dolphins Drop to 1-5 on Last-Second Chargers Field Goal as Tua Cites Leadership Lapses

Tagovailoa’s comments about missed player-led meetings heightened concerns about team discipline, increasing scrutiny on coach Mike McDaniel and GM Chris Grier.

Overview

  • Los Angeles won 29-27 on Cameron Dicker’s 33-yard kick after Justin Herbert evaded pressure and hit Ladd McConkey for 42 yards in the final seconds.
  • Miami had just taken a 27-26 lead with 46 seconds left on Tua Tagovailoa’s touchdown pass to Darren Waller to cap an 82-yard drive.
  • Tagovailoa threw three interceptions and acknowledged his role in the loss, then said some teammates have been late to or skipping players-only meetings.
  • Miami’s defense again failed to close, giving up chunk plays and 121 rushing yards to third-string back Kimani Vidal as late-game issues persisted.
  • Injury-hit Chargers succeeded with backup linemen and receivers, while local analysis intensified questions about McDaniel and Grier as the trade deadline nears and the Browns await in Week 7.
