Football Fans Couldn’t Believe Tua Tagovailoa’s Backbreaking Interception vs. Bills

Tua Tagovailoa Bills Football Dolphins Terrel Bernard NFL

The Dolphins showed a lot more fight on Thursday night against the Bills than many thought they would. After stumbling out of the gate to an 0–2 start that looked about as bad as you could imagine, coach Mike McDaniel had his guys ready to play against one of the best teams in football.

Leading the way was quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who while contained to checkdowns for the majority of the night, was able to lead the Dolphins to a touchdown on their opening drive, and largely keep pace with the Bills the whole game.

Things turned against both Tua and the Dolphins in the fourth quarter. First, the Miami defense forced a punt that would give them possession and a chance to take the lead, but the stop was wiped away due to a roughing the kicker penalty that kept the BIlls' drive alive. After they went on to score, Tagovailoa had to lead the Dolphins offense down the field one more time to try and match. Just outside the red zone, Tagovailoa delivered a pass right into the hands of Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard for an interception that essentially ended the game.

Online, some football fans and commentators couldn’t believe the brutal mental mistake from Tagovailoa, while others saw it coming from a mile away.

The Dolphins are now 0–3, and while they undoubtedly put forth their best effort of the young season thus far on Thursday, that won’t be much of a comfort as they look to climb their way out of the basement of the NFL standings.
