Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores defends decision to stick with Tua Tagovailoa as starting QB

DAVIE, Fla. -- Despite Ryan Fitzpatrick's miracle heave that led the Miami Dolphins to a 26-25 win over the Las Vegas Raiders Saturday night, coach Brian Flores once again made it clear Sunday that Tua Tagovailoa remains his starting quarterback.

Flores expressed adamant disagreement with those outside the team building who believe starting the veteran gives the Dolphins the best chances to win.

"Tua has brought us a spark in a lot of other games. I think people will just forget that because we just remember the last thing," Flores said.
