NFL Week 8 scores: Dolphins lose Tua Tagovailova’s return on last-second Cardinals FG
Share
The Arizona Cardinals snagged the 28-27 win over the Miami Dolphins on a last-second field goal, but sighs of relief were likely heard around south Florida after QB Tua Tagovailoa’s long-anticipated return went as well as loss could possibly go.
Miami had looked like a shadow of itself since Tagovaila’s Week 2 concussion, and Tua’s return to the field — and to form — made the Dolphins complete and functional again.
Everyone benefitted from his return from injured reserve. Without Tua, the Fins averaged just 10 points per game. But in just his first game back, everyone got some action. De’von Achane had 10 carries for 97 yards plus six catches for 50 yards with one touchdown. Raheem Mostert had two touchdowns on 9 carries for 19 yards. Tyreek Hill had six catches for 72 yards. And Tua himself went 23 for 38 with 234 and one passing touchdown.
But most importantly? Instead of diving head first at the end of a play, he executed a perfect slide. The crowd went wild. Tua is definitely back, and the Dolphins could be right behind him.
