Tua Tagovailoa increases mileage through loss

Tagovailoa completed 36 of 45 passes for 357 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and added two rushes for six yards in the Dolphins’ 30-17 loss to the Packers on Thursday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.

Tagovailoa’s final numbers look undeniably impressive without context, especially in a cold-weather environment where he has typically struggled. The reality on the field was a little different, however, as the Dolphins were already in a 24-3 hole at halftime. Tagovailoa moved his team much more efficiently as the game progressed, leading three second-half drives of 67 yards or more, two of which culminated in touchdown passes to De’Von Achane (14 yards) and Tyreek Hill (12 yards). in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. The 2020 first-round pick also completed a two-point conversion pass to Jaylen Waddle after the first scoring throw and threw multiple touchdowns without an interception for the third straight game. Tagovailoa and the Dolphins will continue their uphill battle to stay in the AFC playoffs when they host the Jets in a Week 14 divisional game on Sunday, Dec. 8, although Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports that the talented Signalman was walking with a limp in the locker room after the game.
