The Miami Dolphins and Tua Tagovailoa have had a tumultuous relationship during his six seasons with the team, and now, that relationship seems to be coming to an end.
Head coach Mike McDaniel made the decision to bench the former NFL passing leader on Wednesday, fresh off of Miami's 28-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night. Tagovailoa's struggles in that game (before a massive fourth quarter with the game already decided) were the final straw in what has been a frustrating two-season stretch for both himself and the team.
Reporters got to speak to the embattled QB about his demotion, and he sounded exactly how you would expect a player who just lost his job.
