Forget about the sub-40 degrees the Miami Dolphins will play in on Monday night in Pittsburgh. Forget about the record Tua Tagovailoa holds when the temperatures are below that mark. If Tagovailoa can't play well, the Dolphins' season is over.

It's time for the Dolphins quarterback to grow as a leader. It's time to stop standing at a podium saying, "It starts with me." Miami isn't likely to make the playoffs this year, and because of that, there isn't as much pressure on their quarterback to win. It would be different if the path to the postseason were in their control.
