- Miami Dolphins. Tagovailoa's risky tackle against Rams has fans holding their breath: What was he thinking?
Midway through a season of heartbreaking losses, major injuries and maddeningly inconsistent play, the Miami Dolphins mostly put it all together on Monday night.
While their preseason Super Bowl aspirations are still in grave danger of slipping away, the Dolphins' gritty 23-15 victory over the Los Angeles Rams demonstrated to Miami's key players that they still might have a shot to make something out of this very trying year.
Tyreek Hill caught a short touchdown from Tua Tagovailoa in the third quarter to end the longest scoring drought of his career, and the Dolphins (3-6) kept Los Angeles out of the end zone while snapping their three-game losing streak with just their second victory in eight games.
Tagovailoaed for only 207 yards, but he made a series of big throws while the Dolphins converted six third downs, most of them at key moments. Tagovailoa was 9 of 12 for 137 yards on third downs alone.
