Dolphins Criticized by NFL Fans in Loss to Bills as Tua Tagovailoa Suffers Concussion

Zach BacharSep 12, 2024

The Miami Dolphins' offensive struggles were on full display before an injury to Tua Tagovailoa forced him to exit the team's 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thursday.

Tagovailoa finished 17-of-25 for 145 yards and a touchdown, although he was picked off three times. The third interception for the 26-year-old was especially costly, as Bills cornerback Ja'Marcus Ingram returned the ball for a touchdown.

Tagovailoa's night came to an end shortly afterwards, as he was tackled on a scramble late in the third quarter and stayed down on the field. The Pro Bowl passer was eventually able to walk off under his own power and enter the locker room, but he was later ruled out with a concussion.

Skylar Thompson replaced Tagovailoa, completing eight of his 14 pass attempts for 80 yards. He was also sacked once.

The Dolphins were able to generate 351 yards of offense, but they were repeatedly kept off the board due to their inability to move the sticks when they needed to. Miami converted just one of its five opportunities on fourth down.

Defense was also an issue for the Dolphins, as the team failed to stop Bills running back James Cook. Cook racked up 95 yards from scrimmage on just 12 touches, scoring all three of his touchdowns in the first half.

Fans were disappointed in the overall performance from the team, criticizing Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel.

The Dolphins fell to 1-1 after the loss, while the Bills moved to 2-0.
