The Miami Dolphins carried the foul stench from their long offseason following a forgettable 2024 into Week 1 of the 2025 campaign. They looked lifeless against the Indianapolis Colts from the jump and were dominated on both sides of the ball in a 33-8 defeat. It was a flat-out embarrassing showing, particularly on offense, which falls primarily on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Tagovailoa was dreadful in the Dolphins' blowout loss to the Colts, completing 14 of 23 passes for 114 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions. He also took three sacks and lost a fumble, which was recovered by his former teammate, Xavien Howard, who delivered a not-so-subtle jab at the signal-caller.
