Overview

• Asked about Newton highlighting his $212.4 million extension on ESPN, Tagovailoa said it is easier to critique with a clicker than to play quarterback and insisted not just anyone can do the job.
• Tagovailoa acknowledged he has not met his usual level through three games, citing five touchdowns, four interceptions and 191.7 passing yards per game with a bottom-tier QBR.
• He noted lingering effects from past ankle surgeries have changed how he runs, though he did not use them as an excuse for recent turnovers.
• Coach Mike McDaniel defended Tagovailoa’s mindset and focus, saying there are downfield chances he must seize but praising him for avoiding other turnover risks.
• With Miami 0-3, the team targets a course correction Monday night against the also-winless Jets, as outside outlets float speculative quarterback alternatives such as Russell Wilson.
