Overview
- Tua Tagovailoa has been held under 200 passing yards in four consecutive games, yet Miami has won all four behind its rushing attack.
- During the streak he has attempted 20 to 23 passes per game, with De’Von Achane leading the ground game while managing a rib issue.
- Tagovailoa said he is happy with the victories and acknowledged he would like to throw more but supports sticking with what is working.
- He has 14 interceptions on the season, tied for the NFL lead, and is averaging 185.2 passing yards per game, which would be his lowest since his rookie year.
- Miami’s passing options have been thinned by Tyreek Hill’s late-September knee injury and Darren Waller missing seven games, and the next test comes Monday night at Pittsburgh in frigid conditions where Tagovailoa is 0-5 when kickoffs are 40 degrees or lower.
