Plenty rests on the shoulders of Tua Tagovailoa as Dolphins go for first playoff win since 2000

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — It has been more than 23 years since the Miami Dolphins won a playoff game. He was a freshman at Alabama when he replaced then-starter Jalen Hurts during the 2018 national championship game and led the Crimson Tide past Georgia for the school’s fifth national title under Nick Saban. The 25-year-old Tagovailoa has spoken about how those experiences helped shape his path to the NFL, but he couldn’t quite find the words to describe the emotions of competing in his first playoff game. He missed Miami’s playoff game last year, a loss to Buffalo in a wild-card game, after being diagnosed with his second concussion of the season. “One thing I do know is as much, if not more, than any player I’ve been around, this guy has, in front of our very eyes, learned and continued to grow, and no situation regardless of how much weight is on his shoulders or how much noise is out there, he continues to find a way to improve.” NOTES: The Dolphins signed linebacker Melvin Ingram from the practice squad to the active roster, and signed linebacker Malik Reed to the practice squad.. Miami held a walkthrough on Wednesday, but S DeShon Elliot, S Jevon Holland and CB Xavien Howard were estimated as nonparticipants.
