Tua Tagovailoa: Narrative Dolphins Can't Beat Bills Will Stay 'Until We Do Beat Them'

The Buffalo Bills have won the AFC East in each of the last four seasons, and Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa knows the division runs through Josh Allen and Co. until they can do something about it.

"That's gonna be what's written out there until we do something about that, that's going to be the narrative, that we can't beat the Bills," he told reporters Tuesday ahead of Thursday's matchup against Buffalo.

"Until we do beat them, and beat them consistently, none of that's going to change. We have an opportunity to do that this year, we have an opportunity to do that this Thursday."

It hasn't been pretty for Tagovailoa against the Bills.

According to Statmuse, he has a 1-6 record in head-to-head matchups in his career and completed 61.1 percent of his passes for six total touchdowns and seven total interceptions across those contests.

Thursday is a golden opportunity to change those stats and the overall narrative, especially since a November game at Buffalo figures to be more challenging with potentially more difficult weather conditions.

Unfortunately for the Dolphins, running backs Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane are both dealing with injuries heading into Thursday's showdown.

Tagovailoa would face more pressure to keep the offense rolling if one or both of them are out, but there are far worse things than relying on an aerial attack that features Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Both receivers went over 100 yards in the season-opening win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and will look to do the same against the Bills.

That would certainly be one way to help change the narrative.
