DENVER (AP) — The pain from getting pulled in the fourth quarter of Miami’s first loss in seven weeks might sting awhile, but Tua Tagovailoa’s benching won’t last.
“No, no changes,” coach Brian Flores insisted after the Dolphins’ 20-13 loss at Denver on Sunday that was sealed when safety Justin Simmons intercepted Ryan Fitzpatrick’s throw to DeVante Parker in the end zone with just over a minute remaining.
Tagovalioa tottered off the field after his sixth sack early in the fourth quarter and looked to be limping on the sideline, but Flores said it wasn’t his young quarterback’s health that was the issue.
