Tua Tagovailoa is getting ready to play in the cold against the Bills. It was0:50.
Tua Tagovailoa isn't worried about the weather in Buffalo this weekend, he says it's a mindset thing.
Heavy snow is expected in New York when the Bills and Dolphins play a second time this season. It would be Tagovailoa's first time playing in the snow in his career, but he said apart from spending time in the cold tub last week while the team practiced in Los Angeles, he hasn't put a lot of thought into it.
"For me, it's understanding that there could be a lot of things, and I don't know," he said. It is a mindset thing for me. Is it too cold? I would say I'm focused on the wrong things if I said 'Can I grab the ball?' Going up there and playing against a good team will be difficult.
It was one of the worst games of Tagovailoa's career when the Dolphins played the TennesseeTitans in Nashville. He practiced throwing the ball in a cold weather environment when he visited his brother in Maryland this winter.
During his visit to Maryland, he said there was snow on the ground and the temperatures were cold, but he was confident in his ability to throw in those conditions.
He said it was good to throw it while it was snowing. Throwing in the snow didn't have any effect on me.
"I will personally do zero monitoring of the weather in Buffalo this time of year," said the Dolphins' coach. He said the team won't practice outside this week, but that they can prepare for something mentally.
"You don't really prepare for it because you don't know if it will matter to you or not," he said. You just have to decide if you're going to let it affect you or not. There are certain things that become harder when there's a certain amount of cold air. Both sidelines have the same atmosphere. The game will be played in the same way.
Do you want the elements to matter more to you than to your opponent? It's the same field, the same elements, so you have to think about how much you're going to affect me.
The Dolphins can keep their division title hopes alive with a win over the Bills on Saturday, but they have lost their last two games. The Bills have a two-game lead over the Dolphins in the division.
