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.
Jason McIntyre @jasonrmcintyre✨ Watch more top videos, highlights, and B/R original contentCredit Tua for being a tough fearless QB. That's twice he didn't slide and wanted the extra yardage. (Some might say dumb, too.)
David Furones @DavidFurones_Tua's fearless bruh
Nick Kostos @TheKostosSay what you want about Tua but he's a tough SOB
Omar Ruiz @OmarDRuizTua fearless on that contact.
King of Phinland🐬👑 @KingOfPhinlandTua 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 @FarabaughFBTua'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_LionTua is too tough for his own good
LC @laurencowling_I appreciate his toughness, but gah damn Tua protect yourself and slide
David Todd @DavidMToddWhat 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 @DemCanes04Tua I love the Grit and the toughness!! But. No more lowering the head!! Please for the love of god! #finsup
Joel Moran @joelvmoranTua 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 @JoshAllenStatsI 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_28Tua is one tough dude
Terry @tsmith6309I 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.
