Tua Tagovailoa didn’t expect to be the star quarterback talking about a losing streak.
LONDON (AP) — Tua Tagovailoa didn’t expect to be the star quarterback talking about a losing streak. The Miami Dolphins QB made his first start in a month, returning from fractured ribs though he said he’s “not 100%” yet. Still, the Dolphins were facing a Jacksonville Jaguars team on a 20-game losing streak. Now, their transatlantic flight home from London will feel even longer after losing 23-20 on Matthew Wright’s 53-yard field goal as time expired. It was Miami’s fifth consecutive loss. “To me, it doesn’t matter how I performed today. We lost,” Tagovailoa said. “It’s tough to kind of critique how I performed or how any of our guys performed. It’s tough in the locker room right now. Take a look at that when we get back to Florida.” Tagovailoa finished 33 of 47 for 329 yards with two touchdown passes to Jaylen Waddle. He also had a bad interception late in the third quarter one play after Trevor Lawrence fumbled on a hit from defensive end Christian Wilkins. The Dolphins haven’t won since beating New England in the season opener, back when Miami was considered a possible playoff team after a 10-6 season in 2020.
