Tua Tagovailoa came back from a two-game absence to inject some much-needed energy into the team.

The Dolphins defeated theSteelers 16-10) at Hard Rock Stadium. Miami had lost three games in a row.

In his first game back, Tagovailoa threw for 261 yards and a touchdown. In his first game since suffering a scary concussion, the 24 year old showed no fear and even tucked the ball a few times to pick up 15 yards on the ground

The game against Pittsburgh was a tough one and Tagovailoa was up to the task. He didn't let his injury slow him down even though he had some questionable passes.

The NFL was impressed with Tagovailoa's work ethic.

Credit Tua for being a tough fearless QB. That's twice he didn't slide and wanted the extra yardage. (Some might say dumb, too.)

Tua has certainly not been perfect tonight but he’s so tough man he wants to win so bad you can just see it

Nick Farabaugh @FarabaughFB

Tua's processing + quick release combined with the wild speed of these receivers makes this a massively tough offense to deal with. You're seeing it right now.

Tua's been lightning quick.

León @Champ_Lion

Tua is too tough for his own good

LC @laurencowling_

I appreciate his toughness, but gah damn Tua protect yourself and slide

David Todd @DavidMTodd

What the hell us Tua thinking? I mean I love the toughness, but WTF? #Steelers

Kaleb @KalebDT_

Tua coming off of back to back injuries still putting his shoulder down and going straight into the defense thats TOUGHNESS right there

Pete @DemCanes04

Joel Moran @joelvmoran

Tua is picking up right where he left off. Accurate and decisive. Can’t even tell that he missed the past couple of games. Credit to him and McDaniel for getting him into rhythm right away.

Josh Allen Stats @JoshAllenStats

I give Tua all the credit in the world for continuing to put it all out there. It can’t be easy to do. But bro, I’m holding my breath every time

John III @JustDoIt_28

Tua is one tough dude

Terry @tsmith6309

I give Tua a lot of credit!! Man is a dawg, gutsy as hell!!

Tagovailoa had led Miami to a trio of victories, including a win over the Bills. The difference-maker for the Dolphins could help them contend for a playoff spot this season.

The Miami Dolphins will look to build on their recent success when they travel to face the Detroit Lions.
