‘We’ll never give up’: Dolphins send message with huge win
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — After playing perhaps the best game of his career in an amazing rally to win at Baltimore, Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa deflected attention to his teammates. It brings all our confidence up, confidence in one another, confidence that if the offense has a turnover that the defense is going to get us the ball back.” But after he threw for a career-high 469 passing yards and six touchdowns in Sunday’s improbable win, Tagovailoa’s teammates did the bragging for him. “I feel like he is only getting better each game.” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he’d hoped his team would experience some adversity after its win over the Patriots in the season opener, and the Dolphins faced a three-touchdown deficit entering the fourth quarter. Sunday’s performance against a strong opponent on the road was an early statement win for McDaniel and a sign the Dolphins can contend for their first playoff berth since 2016. McDaniel said imaging showed no breaks, but “it’s hurting pretty bad and will be a day-to-day situation.” KEY NUMBER 21 — The Dolphins overcame a 21-point halftime deficit, which is tied for the second-largest comeback win in franchise history.
