Dolphins Fall to Cardinals in Tua's Return, Highlighting Persistent Issues

Despite Tua Tagovailoa's return and a strong offensive performance, the Miami Dolphins suffer a last-second defeat to the Arizona Cardinals, underscoring deeper team challenges.

Tua Tagovailoa's return saw him complete 28 of 38 passes for 234 yards and a touchdown, but his performance was marred by critical fumbles.
The Dolphins' defense struggled, allowing Arizona's Kyler Murray to pass for 307 yards and two touchdowns, with Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride both surpassing 100 receiving yards.
Miami's run game remained effective, amassing 150 yards, with De’Von Achane leading with 97 rushing yards and a receiving touchdown.
A mishandled snap by Tagovailoa resulted in a safety, contributing to the Dolphins' inability to maintain their lead late in the game.
The loss drops the Dolphins to 2-5, intensifying scrutiny on coaching decisions and player execution as they face a challenging schedule ahead.
