Overview
- The Dolphins fell 33-8 to the Colts, as Tua Tagovailoa went 14-of-23 for 114 yards with two interceptions, a lost fumble and a 51.7 passer rating.
- Each Miami turnover produced Colts points, including giveaways on consecutive drives to open the second half that put the game out of reach.
- Tagovailoa rejected a reporter’s premise that his giveaways come in bunches, while coach Mike McDaniel said the team’s execution “wasn’t good enough.”
- ESPN-cited research counted this as Tagovailoa’s seventh game with at least three turnovers since 2020, the second-most in that span behind Trevor Lawrence.
- Some fans called for a trade for Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders, who was drafted No. 144 and is currently QB3, though Tagovailoa’s $212 million deal and a reported $79.2 million dead-cap hit to cut him complicate any swift change.
