On a frigid, freezing Monday night, Tua Tagovailoa took the field in Pittsburgh with the onus of keeping the Miami Dolphins' season hopes alive. Instead, he delivered fans a lump of coal.
Statistically, Tagovailoa's numbers were not horrible. He went 22/28 for 253 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. His rating was 113.2. Usually, you would love to see this kind of game. Sadly, there is always a but.
What Tagovailoa couldn't do was lead his team. His passes were mostly short dump-offs. His inability to read the pressure led to four sacks by the Steelers' defense.
