It was a rough one today in Denver for Tua Tagovailoa, who showed a few growing pains during Sunday’s game against the Broncos.
The rookie quarterback completed 11 of 20 passes for just 83 and one touchdown following back-to-back impressive offensive showings in the Dolphins previous two games.
Tagovailoa was also brought down six times and hit a total of eight by Vic Fangio’s defense who dominated a young Miami offensive line. With the former Alabama quarterback struggling to move the football head coach Brian Flores opted to bench the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and send out veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick who began the season as the starter.
