Teddy Bridgewater came in for Tagovailoa in the middle of a 14-14 game. But Tagovailoa was able to come back to start the third quarter.
Tagovailoa was having a decent game before leaving for the locker room. He’s trying to lead the team to a third consecutive win to start the season. A win over Buffalo would mean Miami is a legitimate threat in the AFC East.
The former Alabama star was 8-for-10 with 76 passing yards and a touchdown pass to River Cracraft. Chase Edmonds had a rushing touchdown to add to the Dolphins’ total.
